For most countries that celebrate Christmas, it starts in December. For the Filipinos, Christmas starts as early as September and ends mid to late January of the following year.<\/p>\n<p>You can see homes already decorated as early as September (our house included). You can see houses, buildings, and streets with Christmas lights shining bright. Christmas carols on the radio, TV, at shopping malls, and on various social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples of the Filipino Christmas traditions:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3336 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-510x382.jpg 510w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/img_4506-1080x810.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Nativity Scene or \u2018Belen\u2019<\/strong> as we call it, is a staple to Filipino decorations. This is composed of baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the Three Kings, and barn animals. You can see them in public places like malls and building lobbies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simbang Gabi (Misa de Gallo)<\/strong> means evening mass. Filipinos attend mass either late at night or at the early hours of the morning, 9 days before Christmas. Many people try to complete all 9 days, both as a religious practice and because they believe that completing all 9 masses can grant you a wish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christmas caroling<\/strong> for the Filipinos means singing from house to house. This is usually accompanied by recycled or DIYed instruments and short Christmas carols. For some, the Christmas caroling starts December 1st, while for others, they start December 16th, the first day of the evening mass.<\/p>\n<p>Most people celebrate Christmas dinner either on Christmas eve or Christmas night. But for the Filipinos, we often wake up at midnight and welcome Christmas day with <strong>Noche Buena<\/strong>. Because most of the Filipinos come home during the holidays, this is one of the Christmas traditions that all look forward to.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3337 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/25659258_1523672771003235_7118609359852556079_n-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"362\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/25659258_1523672771003235_7118609359852556079_n-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/25659258_1523672771003235_7118609359852556079_n-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/powerofloveministry.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/25659258_1523672771003235_7118609359852556079_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Filipino Christmas tradition is the <strong>Parol or Christmas Lanterns<\/strong>.
