SIMBANG GABI
Simbang Gabi -is a novena of dawn Masses from December 16-24 (Christmas Eve). Attending the Masses is meant to show devotion to God and heightened anticipation for Christ's birth, and folk belief holds that God grants the special wish of a devotee that hears all nine Masses. After hearing Mass, Catholic families buy traditional Filipino holiday fare for breakfast outside the church and eat it either within the church precincts or at home. Vendors offer many native delicacies, including bibingka, putò bumbóng and drinks include coffee, salabát (ginger tea) and tsokoláte (thick, Spanish-style hot chocolate).
My favorite TIME OF THE YEAR – It should be Christmas everyday.
