5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas in the Philippines, November 10, 2006

By	S. J. Galvin (Cortland, Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a beautiful book. My new daughtrer-in-law has recently come to America. This will help me plan our celebrations to include her traditions as well, such as the star lantern, which my son is building for her as a surprise

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice little book , September 3, 2008

By	Dr. Kai Giermann (Germany, Schleswig-Holstein) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is definitely a warm hearted well written nice little book on Xmas customs in the Philippines. Some more receipes and songs would be good, but for someone who's looking for a first approach and understanding of foreign habits and customs this is a good buy. Arts and layout are transporting the ideas behind this book.
Good value for the price, too.
