Christmas Season in the Philippines kicks off at the Start of Simbang Gabi, and is celebrated with much fanfare in churches throughout the country.
Traditional breakfast of the faithful after the Mass are "Puto Bumbong" (purple colored native delicacy made of steamed heirloom glutinous rice inserted in a small bamboo tubes) and "Bibingka" (Rice cake cooked in a banana leaves covered terracotta container with charcoal fire on the top and in the bottom) both with traditional toppings of margarine, muscovado sugar, cheese, or grated coconut. Free hot "tsaa" (tea) is a bonus.
