It seemed like only yesterday when we took down all the remnants from last year’s Yuletide celebration. Then suddenly, September comes rushing in to remind us to prepare for the most wonderful time of the year.
The name September comes from the old Roman word “Septem” which means seven because in the Roman calendar, it was the seventh month. September is also the start of the school year in most countries particularly in the United States when students return to school after the six- week summer holiday.
Regardless of name origin and the symbols, customs and traditions associated with the month around the world, for us Boholanos and for most Filipinos for that matter, September ushers in the months that end with “ber” and that would only mean one thing; the most joyous of all seasons and holidays is just around the corner. Very soon, the malls would be festooned and bedecked with Christmas trimmings, temperatures would soon drop and the air would then reverberate with timeless & beloved carols.
September birthstone: Sapphire
Even in the most trying times and in a world seemingly wracked by hostilities and strife, there is still a reason after all to be hopeful as we await the birth of our Saviour.
September has a very special place in this blogger’s heart for it was on this month, September 13, 2012 to be exact that this blog made its debut.
