MANILA, Philippines — More Filipinos are expecting Christmas to be happy this year compared to last year, according to a survey released Friday by private pollster Social Weather Stations.

 

The poll conducted from December 10 to 14 showed that 73% of Filipino adults expect Christmas to be happy, up from 65% in 2021 but still below the 79% recorded in the year before the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Only 7% expect a sad Christmas, while 19% are ambivalent about the occasion.

Thank God I'm in Thailand and not the Philippines. I had too many Christmases in the Philippines. "Where's my Christmas?".

 

And every man and his dog delivering red envelopes to my door.
