00:00Full of colors and happiness, that is the Filipino Christmas.

00:04But there are some of our countrymen who say that they don't feel the joy of Christmas

00:08because they have missed out on something.

00:10This is the story of Mico Wahe.

00:17This year, 2024, do Filipinos still feel Christmas?

00:22For me, not anymore.

00:24Yes, even if it's hard.

00:26Yes, but it's not like before.

00:30From our conversations, many say that they don't feel the joy of Christmas.

00:36They say that the reason is that they have a lot of things they can't do or can't be with during Christmas.

00:43Mary Joy is a single parent.

00:45Her son is in Buanga del Sur.

00:49She can't be with her son during Christmas.

00:51We take a bath, we have a picnic with my son.

00:54Now, I can't do it anymore.

00:55I asked him what gift he wants.

00:57He said, just go home, mom.

01:00Jojo is thankful that he has children.

01:04He remembers that Christmas is really for children.

01:08Based on my experience when I was young, I also want my children to have experience

01:14so that they won't lose the heart of Christmas, the spirit of Christmas.

01:20In Jojo's opinion, it's possible that the feels of Christmas didn't change.

01:25Instead, our priorities and responsibilities changed.

01:29That's what a psychologist said.

01:32We have a lot of responsibilities.

01:35We easily get stressed.

01:37We have a lot of experiences.

01:40And actually, those experiences, it affects how we see the world,

01:45how we celebrate wonderful occasions like Christmas.

01:50Another reason is that we have more expectations.

01:54Our youth is also aware of that.

01:57When we were young, when they say Christmas, it's so magical.

02:02But as adults, we now know the difference between what reality is and fantasy.

02:09We even try to replicate that feeling of happiness.

02:13So, we continue having Christmas parties, exchange gifts.

02:19But how can we feel the Christmas spirit despite all our experiences?

02:25Maybe the secret is, let's not forget the child in us.

02:29As grown-ups, we forget the heart of being a child.

02:35Let's keep that in our heart, the child in us.

02:39For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juaje.

02:42Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
