Christmas at the Bahay Kubo
Posted by on December 25, 2006
First things first, Merry Christmas everyone! Maligayang Pasko! Malipayun nga Paskwa! Naimbag nga Pascua! iFelices Pascuas!
It’s Christmas day today! I spent my Christmas eve last night in Talisay, Batangas. We attended Mass at 10PM in San Guillermo Parish.
At midnight, we ate our Noche Buena in a very unique fashion: We had our foods served in a bahay kubo with a small parol hanging from the ceiling. The Bahay Kubo was made of coconut lumber, bamboo and coconut leaves for its roof. A typical Filipino home in the countryside.
Our food is an eclectic blend of traditional Filipino and modern foods. We had puto, Dinuguan, Menudo, Spaghetti, Fruit Salad, Ham, Queso de Bola, liters of Cola, and a bottle of chilled wine.
What a way to say Thank You to The One who gave us all these blessings, isn’t it? What really is important is that we are all together in this very special day.
Just droppin by to greet you Merry Christmas! Stay safe and God bless!
