Simbang Gabi/Misa De Gallo and Puto Sikwati

As Christmas is fast approaching one of the traditions that people are having is the "Simbang Gabi" or in in tagalog known as "Misa De Gallo". When I was a kid my parents would have this tradition and would go to church to participate mass early morning. Well my memories would serve me well on this happening when I was a child. Were in a lot of families would also attend the mass together with their kids.

And also during this time it's the most cold days of December as a sign that Christmas is coming. When I was a child my mother would even bring a bottled milk in church. Same goes for other parents when they are attending the mass together with their kids.

When I was on elementary I would always request from my father to eat Puto and Sikwati after attending the mass. So it was just a simple breakfast for us instead of going to Jollibee or some other fastfood chains. We would rather enjoy eating Bud-Bud and other foods. But one of my favorite's was the Puto Sikwati were in I would prefer the Tableya instead of the powder tablea.  hen I would feast on this meal same with my parents.

This are just one of the best things that I would not forget when I was a child during this season. But now that I am working I could just look back how life was simple way back when. I guess I could attend Misa De Gallo and eat Puto Sikwati after when I wanted to if I have no work. But at the moment I just had a reflection of the  past.
