(Comment from a Filipino: I've lived in the Philippines all my life and I've always thought that "Simbang Gabi" meant the midnight mass on Dec. 24. And this is the first time I've heard of the term "Misas de Aguinaldo".)
Since it's celebrated at midnight, isn't it should be placed on December 25? --Howard the Duck 10:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article is getting to be pretty big. At this point, it needs a picture.--Sefringle 07:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Pamamasko / "Namamasko po" section? In the Christmas Day section it says: "Aguinaldo or money in the form of crisp, fresh-from-the-bank bills is given after the Pagmamano, most usually to younger children." However, I think asking for/receiving aguinaldo is no longer exclusively done on Christmas Day. The term Pamamasko was not used in that section either, though it is also used to describe the money given to carolers (Caroling section). So maybe one can discuss pamamasko in general in its own section.--Sofimi 17:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the article will only talk about traditions. --seav 08:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ummm, that is simply not true. There is no 'yearly ban on firecrackers'. Establishments can legitimately sell firecrackers and other explosives. I am from the Philippines so do not even question me on this. Yes, there are illegal fireworks but there is no such 'yearly ban' on fireworks!

While the commercialization of Christmas may mean that many people celebrate Christmas early, Christmas as is celebrated in the Catholic Church begins on December 25th (the end of Christmas is disputed, and varies among traditions, but the current Church calendar ends it with the Baptism of the Lord, the Sunday after Epiphany). The four weeks before December 25th are a separate season called Advent, which are a time of fasting and preparation for Christmas.
