Here in the Philippines, for Filipinos Christmas is one of the most important holidays. The Philippines celebrating the longest Chrismas holiday around the world..Started on September we heard the Christmas song by Jomari Chan played in malls and radio.
We started decorating our home from September , October , November and finally December 16 , the Misa Gallo or Morning mass held every 5 in the morning, to thank the Almighty for the birth of Jesus and praying for the things your heart desires. We believed that whatever you asked for during this Misa de Gallo or Simbang gabi , will granted.
Filipinos love to celebrate Christmas with family, relatives, and friends. It is the time of the year when Filipino families usually reunite and do things together with much fun, vigour, and festivities.. Filipinos working abroad go home to be with their family this time of merry making , enjoying parties, fiesta , watching fireworks contest in Mall of Asia, the largest shopping mall in the Philippines. .
On Christmas eve , we open our home and invite friends and foreigners to join us on Noche Buena , we prepare abundant foods with different local and foreign cuisine .
Foreigners love to come to our country , as they says.. Filipinos are most caring and hospitable . we treat them nicely, and give foods .They always like Filipino foods especially chicken adobo , cook with sauce sauce and different spices . They also love to eat delicious delicacies and sea foods. They enjoy staying in Boracay beach, one of the best beach in the world. The airplane fare is so cheap and people around greet with a smile. :)
Christmas is also a beautiful time of giving. It is when families and friends come together and give gifts to one another to celebrate their love for each other and exchange gifts .
For our family Christmas is also a celebration of Christ’s birth and God’s unspeakable gift to the world.
It is always a wonderful time that brings our family together as we reach out to others... It is a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings.
Thank you so much for reading my dear friends...
Merry Christmas from our home to yours.
Love you and God bless us all ,
