In the Philippines where there is a long Christmas season celebration, the onset of the ber-months which start at September announces the first tick for Christmas countdown. The season brings an unusual feeling of nostalgia for those life momentos of the past year and somewhat sets the joy of expectation for better life in this Christmas year.
It has been Filipino tradition to spend Christmas on their home town that’s why many of those overseas contract workers are indeed awaiting the season for the grand visit to their family at home country. This also means a big influx of dollar coming in the country from the purse of many kababayans working abroad. Somehow the country's economy will experience a slight boom in the flow of markets in terms of commodity. The lively celebration of Christmas from the homecoming visit of million Filipinos abroad will somehow kindle the family togetherness. This is one tradition that impact a Filipino Christian spirit. A Filipino never abandon his root, in whatever circumstances he presently enjoy, the bond of family and the smell of home will forever haunt him to visit the country.
