Our Christmas Tree at Home (October 22, 2025)

The Christmas tree is a festive symbol traditionally decorated with lights, ornaments, and tinsel during the Christmas season. Its origins trace back to 16th-century Germany, where devout Christians brought evergreen trees into their homes and adorned them with candles to symbolize eternal life and hope in the dark winter. The practice spread throughout Europe and became popular in England during the 19th century, particularly after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert displayed a decorated tree at Windsor Castle. Introduced to America by German immigrants, the Christmas tree has since become a universal emblem of holiday joy, unity, and celebration around the world.

Robinson Pampanga Christmas Tree and Lanterns (October 2025)

 

The Pampanga Christmas Lanterns, locally known as “Parol,” are iconic symbols of Filipino Christmas spirit and craftsmanship, originating from the province of Pampanga—particularly in the City of San Fernando, which is hailed as the “Christmas Capital of the Philippines.” These giant, colorful lanterns are intricately designed with lights and patterns that resemble stars, representing hope and the guiding light of the season. Each lantern is handcrafted using materials like capiz, fiberglass, or steel frames, and is often equipped with synchronized lighting systems that create dazzling light displays. The tradition is highlighted in the annual Giant Lantern Festival (Ligligan Parul), held every December, where different barangays compete to showcase their most elaborate and luminous lantern creations, attracting tourists from across the country and around the world.
