CHRISTMAS CUSTOM IN THE PHILIPPINES

AT CHRISTMAS TIME, ALL THE HOUSES ARE OPEN FOR ANYONE TO COME IN AND
EAT AS THEY WISH. THE PEOPLE CAN BE MERE PASSER-BYS OR FRIENDS. THE
TABLE IS LAID OUT FOR THE WHOLE DAY. CHILDREN GO FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE
COLLECTING DIMES, NICKELS, OR OTHER COINS AS A SYMBOL OF GIVING AT THE CHRISTMAS TIME. THIS IS DONE AT CHRISTMAS EVE, JUST LIKE YOUR
HALLOWEEN.
