The Christmas of a Bigueno

             


           Biguenos on Christmas are no different from us, they just want to celebrate theirs a little lively and more colorful. Christmas is about celebration and cheers. It is about happiness, love, and forgiveness. And the spirit of Christmas always lies and will be in our very hearts. But it’s up to you on how you celebrate yours.

          Biguenos are the people of Vigan City. I may not be living there, but it is a very popular place to be in. How I wish to live there even just for one day, and be a true Bigueno on Christmas Day. I am very astonished at their cultures and their different ways of life, and as a non-Bigueno, I want to experience them myself.

          December 25. Vigan city at night is filled of shining and shimmering lights that brightens up the whole starry sky. The cold breeze and the aesthetic streets you can roam around. A lot of beautiful places to picture in with your friends and family. You can never get enough with the sight and smell of Christmas day at Vigan.

             At the middle of the city, there you can witness a big Christmas Tree. It is as said illuminates hope and positive energy to the people. It is at its best at night time, the aura of light that changes color, catches the eyes of people and mesmerizes them. I’ve never seen a Christmas tree that big other than that, How ‘bout you?

         Also, there is this somewhat event called the “Simbang Gabi”, which we can participate and worship God Himself before His date of birth. It is a nine-day event, where you go at Vigan Cathedral to pray and serve for Him. All of us have this on our own barangays and places but, theirs are to celebrate on the famous and big Vigan Cathedral that are decorated with different varieties of decorations and lights.

             There are a lot more ways on how a Bigueno celebrates Christmas. Be responsible and always remember to follow the protocols during the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. But before to end this blog post, let us all remember that it is not about those fancy events, and flashy lights. As long as there is love and care present in our daily lives, it is Christmas. Do you want to be a Bigueno? Either way, I am very most sure that Christmas is fun for you, and your whole family.
