MANILA, Philippines - Most of us are already looking forward to simbang gabi and the traditional bibingka and puto bumbong that are truly symbols of Pinoy Christmas. What comes to mind, too, is gift-giving. Its essence is not of material value but letting our loved ones know that they are remembered on this occasion.
But however noble our intentions are, Christmas shopping is a nerve-wrecking experience — pedestrian traffic, long queues, traffic jams, parking problems, etc.
