Xmas Countdown December 21: 4 days to go!The Tagalog word Pasko derives from the Spanish word Pascua. Although the word Pascua means Easter, Pascua de Navidad refers to Christmas.
The Philippines is known for having the world’s longest Christmas season. The four months that end with the syllable –ber
are considered Christmas months, which is why stores and households
start playing carols on the first day of September! And the holiday
season extends beyond December 31st. It doesn’t end until the Feast of
the Epiphany or Three Kings (Tatlong Hari) which falls around January 6.

Like the frogs with a reputation for leaping that is well deserved, jump with me to my froglandia as we travel and explore the world seeking symbols of divine powers of love, fertility, regeneration, rebirth, immortality, and transformation.
