Hahaha! Okay, let's go over some basic Filipino Christmas Traditions:
Simbang Gabi - is the term used when people go to church really early. There was a time I went to church at 4am! Legend says that if you complete the whole series (9 masses), your wish will come true, :) Simba came from the word "Simbahan" which means church. "Simbang" is an adjective. "Gabi" means night (I have no idea why we use night when it's actually very early in the morning. Probably because it's still very dark?) Puto bumbong/ Puto bung bung - is dish made from purple-colored ground rice that are cooked in bamboo tubes. Noche buena - we got this tradition when we were colonized by Spain. Noche Buena means 'Good Night', and is a traditional dinner done on Christmas Eve. Hope that helps :) And to answer the question, yes, we still do Pinoy Christmas traditions, but I prefer bibingka over puto bumbong :P |
