For a typical Filipino Family Christmas or PASKO is the best time for get-together and to spend time together with your relatives and it is the time for giving.......and do you know that it said that the Philippines is said to celebrate the longest christmas season in the world.....from september up to the first week of january..!!!
Now that it's the month of september or the BER month it also the signal that the christmas season is coming....for us here in the PHILIPPINES (Pinas) the start of the ber month is also the start for the kids and not so kids anymore hihihi to sing christmas carols in every house..and the start of putting christmas decoration in every corner of the streets,in every house, and every establishments etc....typical Pinoy used LANTERN or PAROL it is made out of bamboo or paper in various shapes,sizes,designs and colours.Its shape is said to be inspired by the nativity of JESUS...(do you know where you can see the biggest lantern in the world?-you can find it in Pampanga,Philippines).
And also here we pinoy attend the dawn masses or SIMBANG GABI which lasted for nine days...and after every mass it's very typical to drink salabat (ginger tea) as it's very cold in the morning and it is partnered with cake rice or BIBINGKA and PUTO BUMBONG (yummy) but the real meaning of christmas for the filipino is the presence of every member of a family during christmas no matter what your situation in life with or without food in the table just as long as you're
complete and happy..that's the real spirit of christmas~~MALIGAYANG PASKO~~
