During December, specially when we are attending a church conference or mentoring in Butuan City, we always stop by at The Municipal Hall of Carmen in Agusan del Norte because of their eye-catching Christmas lights decoration. It has been gaining an attention for tourists because of its Disneyland-inspired Christmas decor that lights up the night. 

 Here are some of our photos. :)

People from nearby towns and even other provinces always look forward to this much-awaited event this holiday season. Locals and tourists are greeted by a crown-like image made of Christmas lights at the entrance. Colorful lights outline the entire structure of the municipal hall. Even trees have decorations too.

  Mga higala! It's that time of the year when the Province of Bukidnon’s beloved and famous KAAMULAN FESTIVAL will be held again this March 23 to April 23, 2023! Usually held in Malaybalay City from the last week of March to about mid-April, Kaamulan Festival is an ethnic festival highlighting the indigenous culture of Bukidnon, and honoring the custom and traditions of the seven (7) original tribal groups in the province namely - the Bukidnon, Higaonon, Talaandig, Manobo, Matigsalug, Tigwahanon and Umayamnon. This is the gathering of the 7 tribes to celebrate and for thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. The festival name is from a Binukid term "amul" which means gather.

So without further ado, here's the updated Schedu

Some of the problems which often comes out from impulsive Christmas shopping are going over budget, buying frivolous items and even forgetting about items that were already purchased.
