Movies or TV Shows You Should Watch During Christmas

It’s Christmas time! It’s the time of the year when we get presents from our loved ones (especially from our various “Ninongs” and “Ninangs”), we spend a lot on buying the things we’ve wanted the whole year (despite apocalyptic traffic), and of course it’s also the time that gives us the chance to share and bring joy to other people.

When Simbang Gabi is over and we’re stuck at home waiting for the clock to strike at 12 to officially announce Christmas day, most of us just relax at home, reading a book, playing our unfinished game in which office work has been a hindrance all these months, and maybe most of us just enter “kain-tulog” mode.

In line with the “kain-tulog” mode, and maybe if you still plan on staying up late maybe on Christmas eve. We’re sharing with you some of the movies and tv shows that we thought you guys might wanna check out –
