Experience Holiday Season in Toronto People / Different cultures Review

I guess most of us celebrate Christmas as most Christian do. I remember when we were living in the Philippines, we visit the church to hear mass in the early morning from the 15th of December. It is not only because it is our tradition but because of the Filipino delicacies that we enjoy right after the mass.

Here in Canada, it is a bit different as holiday masses are held at nighttime also from the 15th of December. No food is involved after the mass whatsoever. Not unless the family started this as a Canadian way.

Whatever tradition you are used to have, still the holiday season is time for peace and love for everyone. Gift giving is part of it and as a Canadian, generosity is always in our hearts.

Come celebrate with us. Let's join hands and share what we have to the poorest of the poor!
