That unmistakable flavor of Christmas, Pinoy-style

philip4.jpg

philip5.jpg

philip8.jpg

PUTO bumbong and bibingka

are two native holiday treats

that are bound to the

pre-drawn Misa de

Aguinaldo, which starts December

16 and is held everyday for

nine days until Christmas

Day.

In the city, even well-dressed matrons buy them dripping with

melted butter and sprinkled with niyog to get them going for the

nine dawn Masses.

The number of street stalls serving these delicacies has

dwindled through the years, as has the number of

church-goers during the Simbang Gabi. But there are still a

few restaurants in town that serve the faithful who attend

the dawn Mass.

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

fatima, you should have added the unmistakable sound of christmas pinoy style... i didn't think i would miss all those little kiddos na nangangaroling... last year they started around november, yong iba pabalik balik na, sobrang dami ng carolers especially near christmas time, sobrang dami to the point na nakakairita na... but now, nakakamiss rin pala. :crying: .. how i wish, i could hear those little pesky-out of tune kids singing christmas carols at the top of their lungs outside our house even for just a while.

MAAYONG PASKO SA INYONG TANAN!
