87 days until Christmas

Here's a nice song with a playful tone about the tradition of caroling in the Philippines:

SA MAY BAHAY ANG AMING BATI
TO THE HOUSEHOLDER WE GREET

Sa maybahay, ang aming bati: - To the householder we greet:
"Merry Christmas na mal'walhati!" - "A Glorious Merry Christmas!"
Ang pag-ibig, 'pag siyang nagharì, - When Love doth reign,
araw-araw ay magiging Paskò lagi! - every day will always be Christmas!

Ang sanhi po, ng pagparito, - The reason we have come
ay hihingî po ng aginaldo. - is to ask for gifts.
Kung sakaling, kami'y perhuwisyo, - If it so happens that we are a bother,
pasensya na kayo't kami'y namamasko!! - forgive us as we are greeting Christmas!

Wishing you a merry christmas,
