It's another Noche Buena Filipino Christmas Eve for me, my family and close friends.

Noche buena? It's Spanish for "good night", literally, but in the Philippines, noche buena is steeped in cultural and religious significance. The country was a Spanish colony for more than three hundred years and so the Catholic traditions and legacy runs deep. For Filipinos, noche buena is the night, and the feast, before Christmas Day. More specifically, it is the meal eaten after hearing the midnight mass to welcome Christmas Day.

Enjoy and Happy New Year to all.
