Of Kids and Christmas
When I was a kid, I do not remember my Mom and Dad bringing us kids to places that is worthy of a kid's heart. Not that they don't love me or whatever you think, but we just don't have nice places to go to during Christmas. We only enjoy the holidays because we are together, and yes, this brings simple joy to us kids, the gift-giving and the Noche Buena.
It is nice to know that these days, we have made use of our creativity and many municipalities and cities have made their city parks a nice getaway place for kids especially during Christmas time.
Last week, we brought the kids to the City Oval Plaza to witness what we call "Pasko sa Gensan" and they were so amazed at the lights that twinkle and the designs that made the plaza become "Enchanted" as it was also themed as "Enchanted Gensan".
These are some of the things that captured my kids' hearts, and what we have captured with our camera. I would like to share this to you too, I am sharing our "Enchanted Gensan" with you.
the Oval Plaza Stage
A nice tower covered with sparkling lights
this is the highlight of the place,
Gensan's Christmas tree, for all to see
The Ferris Wheel,
my kids wanted a ride in this thing, but a few minutes after we talked about it,
lightning and rain came attacking, and I have to postpone the ride.
My Kids Smiling at Every Tower and Vistas they go to
My Kids sure enjoyed the Trip to The Enchanted Gensan

So there, I will be making sure they have a good Christmas this year, as it has been a good year, this 2008 is. This will be a special Christmas because we will be spending it together, with smiles in our hearts, even if our pockets are light. Christmas means togetherness and love in each of us. Christmas is for kids, and I am making sure they get it.
What makes your Christmas Special? Care to share?
Nota Bene: To all of you who joined me in greeting my hubby on his birthday, thanks very much for the well-wishes. Merry Christmas to all of you.

Christmas is special to me because of family. I've been tempted to spend Xmas abroad many times, but I can't tear myself away from family during the holidays. :)
Christmas is really what you make of it! :)
I like the theme "Enchanted Gensan". It's so focused on family and children! :)
Christmas is special when our whole family gets together to celebrate it. It is also my hubby's birthday! :)
It’s a nice place to bond with your kids. Kids are always attracted to lights and rides.
Christmas is special to us because this is the time of the year where we are able to spend it with our parents and family. The sparkling lights everywhere makes it even more special because my kids are really fascinated with them. They always shout “Christmas lights!” whenever they see one.
Just thinking about the get-togethers is really making me wish that Christmas was here already :)
anyway, my daughter & hubby make my christmas so special this year. meron na akong little santa to cheer me up on christmas.
I was doing the same thing last Christmas, too! I'd love to share these to you. Please allow me to post the links here.

Off-topic: As for your question about how beautiful Lake Agco is, I'm posting a few photos of the place taken by my sister-in-law here in my website. You might be interested to visit the place. It's not that far from your present location ;)
