We had no work, the kids are on school holiday
and we intended to do several things that day.
First on our list was to visit the famed Christmas display
at the City
Plaza, for the yearly Kamundagan Festival.

annual Christmas Festival in Naga City
that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ,

...drop by Naga Cathedral to pray,
...visit my son’s former pre- school teacher
who had just given birth to her first child,
after shopping for gifts that we would bring
for
the brand new mother and her new born baby.
But we weren’t able to do any of those we planned.
The Kamundagan
Chirstmas Display was overcrowded
With people and we couldn’t find a parking space,

Magsaysay Strip was teeming with people, the restaurants
were fully booked and there was also no place to
park.
Naga
Cathedral was closed, and we found it strange
that a church would close on a Christmas Eve,
We went to SM City Naga and found all four levels
of the multi level parking occupied, including
every nook and cranny at the outdoor car park .
The same thing happened with Puregold Malls
in Diversion Road and in the City Center.
E- Mall
and Robinsons were also full of
people
and we also couldn’t find any parking.
...and we finally found a parking space
at LCC
Central Mall,

...despite the kilometric line
at the cashier’s counters.

Come to think of it, we weren’t able to do everything
we intended to do, a day before Christmas,
