Ho ho ho readcash people!
It’s September 1, 2021 and do you know what that means? It’s the start of “Ber” months meaning to say Christmas is coming 🎄😊. Everyone are all excited when it comes to Christmas because this is the time when we get to celebrate it with our family and also time to see our long time relatives and friends. Christmas is a happy moments for each and everyone of us. Let’s not forget why we are celebrating it. It’s the day that our savior Almighty God was born. We will celebrate it with joy, happiness and of course with love ❤️. Philippines is known for celebrating Christmas in the longest season in the world. How does Filipinos celebrate Christmas uniquely with others? Here’s some insights how our Country celebrates Christmas:
Misa de Gallo/ Simbang gabi
During Christmas season, we do have a midnight mass or what we called here as Simbang gabi/Misa de Gallo which most Filipinos believe that their wishes will come true if they can complete all the nine masses.
After the midnight mass, we Filipinos are very much excited or looking forward to the best and freshly cooked puto bumbong and bibingka with matching hot chocolate or most commonly called here as “sikwate” outside church. This is one of the signature holiday Filipino treats during Christmas season. You can eat and bought in the streets outside the church.
Christmas Lanterns/ Parol/Farol
As soon as ber-months arrives, you will definitely notice all the Christmas lanterns on each and every Filipino houses and premises. You will see that most of the lanterns are outside of the houses you want to know why? During Spanish colony, most of the churches put lanterns outside to shred some lights because not all have electricity before. What happened it became a tradition here in our country that on Christmas seasons, most of us put our lanterns outside not just for decorations but to shred some lights too.
Mega Noche / Noche Buena
In the middle of Christmas midnight, we Filipinos tend to celebrate it with and our family with a lot food in the table. It is really part of our tradition that on exactly 12:00 AM, every 25th of December that is also the time we will eat all those food together and sometimes went outside and give something to neighbors too. Same during New year’s eve, while waiting for the countdown for a new year tl come we will still celebrate it with a lot food in the table (desserts too, now I’m craving).
Christmas Caroling / TV station’s ID
I included this on the list because personally, I am always excited and can’t wait for our local TV network providers with their Christmas station id. Yes, every Christmas they will always have this type of caroling including all of their artists. When you heard their Christmas caroling, it makes you LSS (last song syndrome) or you can’t get rid of it. I wonder how are they going to make it during this lockdown due to this pandemic (wondering and excited too).
Let me share to you one of my favorite TV station ID:
That’s all I can think for now guys. Everyone of us has a unique way in celebrating Christmas. There’s no right or wrong on it. As long as you are happy and celebrate it with your loved ones. That’s the spirit of Christmas. That’s the true meaning of it. Here in our country or let me rephrase it, all around the world believes that Christmas is all about families. Catching up with your long time friends, family members, etc. I hope everyone will be back now to normal so that I can go home to our province and spend my Christmas season with my family.
I want to say thank you to all my sponsors. You guys motivates and inspires me a lot. Check out their pages guys!
To all of us, Merry Christmas and let’s continue celebrating life with good vibes and spread love to everyone. Thank you again for dropping by guys. I hope you all are not bored while reading this. Until next blog.
