My experience last X-Mas.

By the start of the “simbang gabi”, you will be able to see vendors around the churches selling the best “puto bung bong” and “bibingka”. It is a traditional snack to have after attending church early in the morning. It is a favorite among locals, taken either with hot coffee or tea to beat the morning chill.
I was so happy when Christmas is coming, especially when 12:00 is coming..
Noche Buena is a time where family and friends gather together during Christmas eve to eat. I have always looked forward to my grandmother’s hot cocoa served together with a few slices of ham, cheese and bread as we celebrate Christmas Eve.
