I and many filipinos, particularly christians, have a number of christmas practices. These practices show the influence of the spaniards.
Lantern of different sizes and shapes adorn filipino homes.
From december 16 to december 24, filipinos attend the series of nine dawn masses called misa de gallo.
Carolers go from house to house sing christmas songs for money and fun.
After the midnight mass on december 24, the filipinos have a family reunion. After the gift-giving they partake of a special meal called noche buena.. Noche buena is so particular because in this event all family member eats together happy together.
The spirit of peace and joy spread throughout the whole filipino community. In the cities, aside from all these usual activities, there be caroling as well as lantern contest..
I been watch lantern contest on television.. Its so beautiful, all the filipinos work are so beautiful..
And this year i didn't know how to celebrate a christmas this year..
Many children so sad this christmas.. I wish the harmful disease lose now..
