Here in the Philippines, people traditionally feast not on Christmas Eve, but in noche buena or the midnight before Christmas. To start our Christmas celebration, I cooked a humble amount of food the eve before Christmas. There were cheese sticks, fish fillet, buttered garlic shrimp, chicken roast, and chop suey. For dessert, I got panna cotta and chocolate cake. Everything in small servings so that we won't have too much of a leftover.
I bought this plain chocolate cake from Red Ribbon. Shhh.. I got the toppers from BreadTalk's Snowy Mountain and Hazelnut Story. What can I do? No more Christmas cakes when I visited the nearby BreadTalk store. People pre-ordered them so they were gone even the first hour.
We went to church and attended the usual morning service. She wore this cute Christmas dress, red headband and gold sandals.
Of course, mama has to wear something red too. And some gold accessories.
I bought this dress 2 years ago and this is just the second time I'm wearing it. Can you believe that? Haha. I just realized!
We saw Santa hanging in a neighbor's doorway. Hurry up Santa! It's almost Christmas Eve!!
After church, I directed the little one under the tree. She has the most gifts in the family.
Money, toys, clothes.. she got them all!
How was your Christmas celebration dearies? Hope you guys had a blast.

I envy those of you who can pull off a red dress. I never liked red because it doesn't agree with my skin tone. In any case, hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
