11月某日，是一位宿霧學校老師友人的生日，我從訊息上送出生日祝賀，最後她則以 Merry Chrismas 回敬我。因我心想著距離耶誕還早著呢？怎就開始祝賀耶誕哩！我好奇地問下去，老師則簡單跟我分享了為什麼有很長一段時間都算 Chrismas 的說法：
It's ber months from September to December, so Filipinos believe that the whole time is Christmas.
And Christmas is actually every day because we should love, share, respect and take care one another because we believe it's the real meaning of Christmas.
