Despite the New Year, I like seeing Christmas decorations still. Like the holiday clinging to the new month to remind people on what the holiday is about: Good Cheer to all men.
However as much as I like them, they don't really stay long here in Cebu. What with Sinulog being celebrated every third Sunday of the month.
Usually, after the first week of January, most remnants of Christmas are replaced by the tribal and colorful decorations of Sinulog. Add the music change. You won't miss that transition, not when most cabs and jeepneys and even malls play the Sinulog beat.
Not that I hate the fact that Sinulog seems to grab the entire month from Christmas or the New Year for that fact. I've been in this island for quite some time to get used to it. And I do enjoy the Sinulog quite well. I think I enjoy the different island festivals, to the ones I've been so far.
But I like seeing some fragments of Christmas lingering despite everything else.
