Filipino Christmas Tradition

Filipinos are known in their different kinds of tradition. Some of their traditions are being followed since Spanish Colonial period until now. Some of the traditions are also based in their religious beliefs before, during and after Christmas. Filipinos are very religious so church is a part of their traditions before Christmas. Filipino Catholics go to the church every 3 o'clock in the morning , nine days before Christmas. Usually, the mass will start on 16 of December until 24 of December. The night before Christmas, Filipino will have their "Noche Buena ", which serves as also family gathering. That tradition is being followed for many years and a part of that tradition is the food that you can buy right after every  mass. Puto bungbong and Bibingka for instance, are  the most popular food that Filipino really like during Christmas Season. They are eating them together with the hot tea. They are eating them with coconut and brown sugar which can make Puto bungbong and Bibingka really tasty.
