Even though I stayed for three months in CDO last year, I was not able to see the beauty of Cagayan de Oro during Christmas. The project at home made me so busy. One night when my friends wanted to hang out, I got the chance to see the beautiful decorations of our village. 
Armed with just my low batt cellphone, I wasted no time and took these blurry pictures. 
I wonder how it looks like this year. The gate of our village always maintain a beautiful decoration for Christmas. Inside the village, houses have amazing decorations too. 
We did not stay for very long because three of our friends will have to go home towards the downtown and the other village. I miss my place every Christmas because it is always nice to be HOME for Christmas.
I love to attend the Simbang Gabi or Midnight Mass. In the village, the mass starts at 4 AM and it is just good to become part of the tradition.
Christmas in the Philippines is meaningful and celebrated with a joyful heart. "Wala nga talagang tatalo sa PASKO sa PINAS." (",). Merry Christmas everyone!

I don't see this when we went last year so; this is newly added. When you touch this, you will hear a sound and water will come out from the stones.
This is fun for the kids and kids at heart. While waiting for the line to move towards the door, you can touch this stone and it will make a sound. If you touch the harp, saxophone, trumphet, xylophone and more, it will create a beautiful sound of the musical instrument.
This piano will play by itself and if you look at closely, something is moving here.
This is the line towards the mansion but, as we move towards it, we enjoyed touching the tombstones and other interesting wall decors. There are so many tricks in here and I bet, children will have fun manipulating these things. It's fun and not at all scary.
