Ways how Bigueños celebrate Christmas Season during Pandemic in the Heritage City of Vigan.

 This is most likely one of the few times in modern history when we are encouraged to celebrate the Christmas season in its essence, in its simplicity.


With a focus on the Covid virus, we are preoccupied with guidelines for how to celebrate Christmas this year– with only members of the family living in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to practice social distancing, or to wash hands frequently. For our mutual protection and safety, we are discouraged from visiting one another. The usual Christmas joy and merriment that we have come to expect is not possible this year

But Covid should not dampen our Christmas celebrations! This Season, let us spread more hope, peace, joy, and love!

And it is at this point that I am reminded of the birth of our Savior. The Christmas story is straightforward. Our Lord and Savior was born in a manger to a mother and a father. His visitors included a shepherd, a few animals, and the three magi. It's a heartfelt reminder of the true meaning of the season. This year has been challenging for all of us, but we remain hopeful. That even in the midst of the pandemic's confusion and fear, God is with us, has always been with us, and will always be with us. Jesus is the world's light!

May the baby Jesus always have a place in our hearts, our lives reflect Christ's presence, and our homes exude God's peace. We will all get through this crisis together if we have a lot of faith, hope, and love.

Due of the spotlight on the Covid virus, we are obsessed with regulations on how to spend Christmas this year– with only members of the family who live in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to follow social isolation, or to wash hands regularly. We are not allowed to see each other for our mutual protection and safety. We won't be able to enjoy the usual Christmas joy and mirth that we have come to expect this year. Covid, on the other hand, should not be allowed to detract from our Christmas festivities! Let us share even more hope, peace, joy, and love this season! And it is here that I am reminded of the birth of our Savior. The Christmas narrative is plain. When our Lord and Savior was born in a manger, only ...

WAYS TO PROTECT ENVIRONMENT

  Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources and landfill space. Volunteer. Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too. Educate. When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources. Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean. Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag. Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room! Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change. Don't send chemicals into our waterways. Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
