Best Christmas Tree in Davao City

It is tradition that we decorate an evergreen tree with colorful glittering lights, apples, candy canes, stars, stuffed bears, and putting gifts underneath every December for the celebration of Christmas Day. The well known holiday symbol has played an important part since ancient times and has been used by honoring gods and spirits during Pagan festivals. Endless legends surround the lore of the Christmas tree and I’m lazy to tell you all about it. So let’s just skip it and focus into something different.

Most communities are now displaying Christmas trees in public places throughout the world. Some are conducting competitions on the most beautifully decorated or eye-catching Christmas trees among their respective places and be rewarded with bunch of bucks. A lot of methods and materials are used for decorations just to be creative, unique and to meet the criteria of the contest.

Christmas is the most unforgettable and sparkling event of the year. It creates joyful memoirs like family reunion, Christmas caroling, delicious food, exchanging gifts and other kinds of fun gatherings. When you will see a stunning Christmas tree around your area, I’ll bet you’ll exactly took a picture of it along with your family, friends, or by yourself.

So if you still haven’t took a picture and found the best Christmas tree around you, you’ll be lucky if you’re in Davao City, Philippines. During night time, davaoeños are getting together here just to take some images of it. It is located along J.P Laurel Avenue, Bajada, Davao City, Mana Davao Building. It is the most beautifully decorated Christmas tree I’ve seen so far in my hometown. So, here’s the picture in case you’ve missed it.

Christmas or "X-mas"

Christmas is a time of happiness and celebration - a blend of joyful moments to share and celebrate with family, friends and special someone. Scenes like carol singing, Santa Claus riding on a sleigh, stockings on the wall, pine tree decorating, card greetings, baking delicious foods, parties everywhere, snowflakes falling, lights flickering, and giving of gifts are all typical traditions that have been passed down through the years.

With all those things happening during December, there’s one thing always bothers me. Why use “X-mas” instead of Christmas? I am worried that the world might be starting to forget Jesus Christ. As I searched through the internet, “Xmas” is not originally an attempt to eliminate Christ from Christmas, but uses an abbreviation of the Greek spelling of the word “Christ” with the “X” representing the Greek letter chi. However, few people know this that it is probably better not to use this popular abbreviation. Future generations might wonder why “X” instead of Christ. Is there a tendency that they will forget the true meaning of Christmas in the future because of “X”?

There’s nothing wrong if you had already knew the reason why they use “X-mas”. What about for those who haven’t known the truth yet? Let’s just get rid of X! Jesus Christ is the main reason why we celebrate Christmas. He was born on earth because He loves us and sacrifices His life for all our sins.

Advance Merry Christmas!
