In Philippines, we celebrate christmas day every december 25.
on the evening of dec. 24th we have this what we call noche buena where every family stays awake to celebrate the coming 25th day. there were also these childrenwho sangs christmas songs in front your door and you can give them some coins. We also have this "simbang gabi" where you have to attend mass that begins as early as 3 o clock am from dec 16-24. If you were able to cattend all the masses, your wish might come true. \those children visit their godfathers/mothers who will give them gifts or even money. Lastly, we also exchange gifts like any other people who celebrate this special day.

I hope thi helps :D
