in summer, for example the parol, representing the Star of Bethlehem which led the Three Kings to the newborn Baby Jesus. For Filipinos, Christmas Eve (; ) on December 24 is celebrated with the Midnight Mass, and immediately after, the much-anticipated – the traditional Christmas Eve feast. Family members dine together around 12 midnight on traditional fare, which may include: queso de bola (English: 'ball of cheese'; this is actually edam cheese), (a hot chocolate drink), and jamón (Christmas ham), lechón, roast chicken or turkey, pasta, (stuffed bangus or chicken), pan de sal, and various desserts including cakes and the ubiquitous fruit salad. Some also open presents at this time. On December 31, New Year's Eve (; ), Filipino families gather for the or midnight meal – a feast that is also supposed to symbolize their hopes for a prosperous New Year. In spite of the campaign against firecrackers, many Filipinos still see these as the traditional means to greet the New Year. The loud noises and sounds of merrymaking are also supposed to drive away bad spirits. Safer methods of merrymaking include banging on pots and pans and blowing on car horns. Folk beliefs also include encouraging children to jump at the stroke of midnight in the belief that they will grow up tall, displaying circular fruit and wearing clothes with dots and other circular designs to symbolize money, eating twelve grapes at 12 midnight for good luck in the twelve months of the year, and opening windows and doors during the first day of the New Year to let in good luck. Christmas officially ends on the Feast of the Three Kings ( in Spanish or in Tagalog), also known as the Feast of the Epiphany (Spanish: ). The Feast of the Three Kings was traditionally commemorated on January 6 but is now celebrated on the first Sunday after the New Year. Some children leave their shoes out in the belief that the Three Kings will leave gifts like candy or money inside. But the celebrations do not end there, since 2011, as mandated by the Catholic Church, they are on either the second Sunday of January or Monday after Epiphany in honor of the Lord Jesus's baptism in the Jordan (the Solemnity of the Lord's Baptism, or in Spanish ). The final salvo of these celebrations is marked by the feast of the Black Nazarene every January
