Holidays are just a normal season in my world here, or so it seems. In comparison to how people celebrate here and the Philippines. It is a big thing in the Philippines, while they take everything so seriously and get too excited about just everything, Americans DO get excited but it's more of mutual and not to be taken so seriously -- or at least not too evident.

I finally understood how they are. We Filipinos, for example, if we get unexpected help from strangers or simply any help from anyone we would thank them ten times to show them we appreciated the deed. In the USA, according to observation, they would say 'Thank You, I appreciate it' and that's about it.

Only shows that people are more relaxed and formal I should say here. Although, being hailed from a different world, I like our way better, Christmas is like having a feast and celebration.
