Crafting For Christmas Eve Activity : The Filipino Christmas Lantern ,Parol

Merry Christmas Steemians

These are the finished parols or the traditional Filipino lantern. We miss the Filipino Christmas so we held this parol making activity for the kids earlier today.

The parol has additional trims on the two lower points of the star but the kids no longer did that. For now we are happy that they get to see a parol and make it on their own. They took their creativity to another level. They expressed their individual ideas and came up with these color combinations and one of them looks like a flag of the Philippines.

Look how quiet and sad it looks outside on Christmas eve, unlike back in the Philippines everyone is joyful and loud with endless happy chat and festive eating with the family and the extended family too. Here we are all by ourselves. Still happy and thankful though despite the pandemic.

Hope you guys were able to celebrate Christmas eve in ways that is fitting for you. Happy Christmas to you and to your friends and family
