i'm from the Philippines and we celebrate Christmas here. Everywhere you go, you would see a lot of "parols", star-shaped light decorations hung in their houses. Every streets you would see a lot of decorations and children caroling just to earn money. Because the Philippines is a Catholic nation, we have a tradition in attending "noche buena", in which a roasted ham is the main dish together with a lot of desserts but only rich families can afford. The poor just eat bread or "champorado" or even noodles but they are still happy. Christians, Catholics or Protestants, would attend an evening mass with their family at exactly 12:00 NN so cities and towns and even villages wouyld be sleepless. Non-christians, respect Christmas here (e.g. Muslims, Hindus etc.) For example, Muslim schools everywhere in the Philippines suspend their classes as a sign of respect.
But all I can say is Filipinos share their love and happiness with God in their loved ones during Xmas.
What about you?
