Christmas Eve in the Philippines is the festive celebration of Filipinos at the strike of midnight. A tradition in the Filipino culture where an abundance of foods are prepared. Family members dine together and happily enjoy the night. For most-wealthy families the foods you'll see on their dinner table is a feast... different kinds of delicacies mostly you'll find in a high-class restaurant, a roast chicken, a roast beef, a mouth watering desserts and a high-quality wine. For the fortunate families the foods we can see are bread, Christmas ham, hotdogs, a hot chocolate and a cake for dessert. But for the most less fortunate families who can't afford to buy a chocolate mix to drink, a pack of hotdogs, a box of ham, a loaf of bread... all they can do is let pass the big event and treat it as an ordinary midnight and go on with their usual routine in life. But in spite of their condition some of them celebrate it happily and merrily without foods on their table. As long as they are together they enjoy the festive night along with the spirit of the holiday.
So this is the season of love and joy and the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of Christ. Celebrate it with love in our hearts and filled with joy in our life and peace for mankind.
