After Simbang Gabi with the family, happy albeit sleepy gatherings head to the neighboring streets of the parish. Families have an early morning walk and catch up with the neighbors and members of the community as they fill their bellies. Both the food and the company bring instant warmth and comfort despite the cold break of dawn.
Gift-giving is an exciting part of every occasion but during Christmas it is symbolic of the three wise men offering gifts to the child Jesus. Many living rooms have been overwhelmed with gift bags and gratitude after the much-anticipated swapping, with food being one of the most common presents given. Yet, the love of food doesn’t end in the giving as the moment is often accompanied by snacking, too! A bowl of ice cream for each child or a pastry with coffee for the adults makes the memory of each gift even sweeter.
The central event of the Christmas season is the Noche Buena. In the Filipino household, it is a priority for the family to gather, then put together and partake in a big meal. For some, it starts early in the day, preparing the food in their own kitchens with members of the family taking on different tasks to get ready for an important evening. Family recipes come out, favorite side dishes like macaroni salad are assembled, or desserts like bowls of Christmas edition ice cream complete the table. Directly translated, Noche Buena means a Good Night, and this is precisely how the evening goes when the food is as good as the company.
