(December 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 2017)

It was a travel (through public transportation) to see the different Christmas Light display of the different municipalities in La Union.

I have to carefully plan my route as to spend less money, travel in short time, be in maximum municipalities within that golden hour of the night where there were light display from six o'clock in the evening until about nine o'clock of the same night.

AWARDING SECTION:

This is just a "playful" awarding of the songs that most likely matches the feel/ambiance of what pagnapagna had seen and experienced upon visiting the place at that particular moment. So yours might be different.

Out of the 20 municipalities of La Union, these are just from the 17 municipalities and a city. Not included were the two municipalities namely San Gabriel and Santol which were not visited by pagnapagna due to distance, lack of time and other reasons.
I understand that some of the Municipal halls are under construction or renovation such as in Burgos and Tubao that decorations were not practical.
And so the awards go on.
