St. Joseph's Church is celebrating the Dawn Masses or "Simbang Gabi" for Christmas 2009.
A devoted and pious group of Pinoy parishioners at the church generously offers their time and efforts to keep this Christian tradition going.
If you attend the mass/es, you will be delighted because they offer free breakfast - coffee, pan de sal, pansit, kakanin, soup, sweets, etc.
Last day of Mass is tomorrow at 6:00am ( near intersection of Credit View and Bristol Road in Mississauga)

The Eiffel Tower is the global icon of France and the tallest building in Paris. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel. The tower stands at 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. The Eiffel Tower is a steel structure, and weighs approximately 10,000 tons.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend either on staris of lifts to the first and second levels. The third and highest level is only accessible by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
I had to walk several hundred meters from the base of the Eiffel to get a reasonably good shot of Eiffel.
Rhoda and our kids usually put up the same tree but they change the decorations on it every year.
