Simbang gabi! Do you still go for an early mass, before Christmas?

Hi! Never in my life have I completed it. I was only able to make two straight then after that, none. But, I do attend Simbang Gabi. Have a nice day! Advance Happy Holidays!! Come home to the Philippines! Miss ka na mg mga kamag-anak mo. Toink!

i have never been to simbang gabi!we dont have that in the chruch(protestant) where i attend but we do have special services before christmas which i do attend.

When I was still a student and I was in the province I used to recall that my grandmother would always bring me to the church to attend. but now here in the city and working already its really hard to to that anymore. But I do miss those times waking up early and going to church that early.

I've gone to a few of those in my life. My dad does though but I just can't get up that early especially when it's still on a school day. But one holiday season, I would meet up with my dad at church for simbang gabi after going out with friends the night before. Then I would sleep for most of the days once we got home. I'd like to go to one again. Though I haven't been to church for about 4 years now.

hi there CJay. I'm proud to say that when i was still in High School i was able to complete the Simbang Gabi. But now that I'm working, i dont have the chance to complete it. sometimes, i wasnt able to attend any single mass. :( take care! Be happy

I honestly haven't tried simbang gabe. I just have the difficulty of waking in the early time in the morning. My parents and sister participate in that and they can't force me to join because I have a lot of things to do. ^^,

It was only one time that i was able to attend simbang gabi... and that was years ago... i am not an early riser... so i really can't attend that particular Mass... but my husband would always complete all the nine days of simbang gabi... he is quite an early riser...

hi CJay! My Mom, sister and I are very consistent attending the simbang gabi from the first until the last day for several years now. My father and brothers would join us once, twice or thrice but they have never made it complete. It is very hard to wake up very early in the morning for those who are not used to. So, it's a challenge. I like hearing the choir sing Christmas songs during the mass. It's special for me because this is the only time I could hear and sing Christmas songs during eucharistic celebration. Hope you have a nice day. LoovesAmethyst

Wow. The first time I completed the early mass was also the last time for me. I believe this was back in 2001 or 2002. I'm not a religious churchgoer anymore. But it was indeed good to be able to complete the 9 days that time.
