PostHeaderIcon Marfo Manibay's photo share & some Christmas thoughts through the years...

"Let's stop this nonsense of calling Christmas as a plain holiday. Don't they look around? It's the dazzling season of Jesus, the greatest guy who ever lived."---AFM

"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."---Norman Vincent Peale



"Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas. All else is outward display-so much tinsel and decorations. For it isn't the holly, it isn't the snow. It isn't the tree not the firelight's glow. It's the warmth that comes to the hearts of men when the Christmas spirit returns again."-- Anonymous



"Christmas--that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance--a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved."-- Augusta E. Rundell



Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends." ---Margaret Thatcher

"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."
---Charles Dickens (1812-1870)from 'A Christmas Carol'.

MARFO & FE MANIBAY



One of the most enduring advisers of Our Lady of Penafrancia Devotees Association of the Tristate Area (OLPDA) is Marfo Manibay of Buhi, Camarines Sur and New Jersey. Shown with OLPDA officer Genevieve del Rosario in the photo, Marfo and supportive wife Fe, a UPian, take behind-the-scene responsibilities of honoring Ina which makes UP Ibalon truly grateful and proud.

At the recently concluded Bicolano Christmas party on December 20, 2008 in Jersey City, Marfo took over the music. It's no wonder why OLPDA's Christmas and other celebrations seem easy---happy and meaningful---occasions truly worth remembering.=0=
