First, let me explain where the title stems from since it's quite obvious what it means. The Filipinos of the World use such greeting amongst their fellow countrymen or non-countrymen. Christmas in the Philippines usually consist of round-shaped fruits such as oranges, family gatherings with some pancit (lo mein), bibingka (sweet sticky rice) and it can not be complete without a colorful lantern or parol.
The most significant part of Christmas is the evening/midnight mass. It starts about 8 days before Christmas. Every night the mass is about an hour and everyone clearly becomes very cheerful and festive. It's a wonderful time of the year, indeed.
I'd like to wish everyone a very, very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Buon Natale! Afishapa! Melkam Yelidet Beaal! Feliz Natal! Feliz Navidad!
Spend it with those you love the most and presents or not, just be thankful for all that you have.
