East and West Customs Meet at Christmas in Manila
Contrasting Christmas practices in the Philippines show a blend of traditions from Americans, Spanish, English, Indonesians, Malays, Indians and Chinese. Festivities mix plum pudding with lechon and garlic rice, banana trees as Christmas trees, predawn Mass, and firecrackers with Misa de Gallo.
