Christmas in the Philippines was pure joy with family. Now in Australia, our children and grandchildren are our greatest happiness. Being together is the true spirit of Christmas.

Noel and Esther Diaz, 62 years married with grandchildren

For over 10 years, I never missed Simbang Gabi, and our faith brought countless blessings. My daughter finally had a child, and my husband fully recovered from heart and kidney failure. I truly believe our family’s faith made it all possible.

Marissa Manoto, devotee Simbang Gabi

Christmas and its food bring our family together, filling our hearts with warmth and taking us back home to the Philippines, even from afar.

Aaron and Amber Vega, Filipino-Australian couple

On Christmas Eve, we celebrate Noche Buena and stay up with family. Christmas Day is for the beach, food, and movies. Now in Australia, I send them money so I can still feel part of the celebration.
