In anticipation of my Christmas trip, I’ve been searching sites on Philippine Christmas and I came on this very nice page on the TAGALOG website that gives you the traditions, the decorations, especially the food (drool), and even the songs. I’ve pasted some of the pix, but go to the site itself: Philippine Christmas to get your Pinoy Christmas fix.
SWEET! Saveur magazine’s December 2008 issue has an entire feature on Christmas in the town of Arayat, Pampanga by Robyn Eckhardt, be sure to check it out.
