What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Every year, Christmas remains my favorite holiday. It’s a season full of contrasts. There is traffic which is 100 times worse, malls are packed beyond comfort, and from a business standpoint, sales can slow down since everyone is just thinking about Christmas. But somehow, none of that really matters.

What makes Christmas special is the chance to reconnect. It’s the time when we reach out to family, friends, and even valued clients.

From my college days up to today, Christmas has always meant celebrations. Parties, reunions, and spontaneous get-togethers have filled the season with unforgettable memories. Ones that we’re built on laughter and genuine connection.

One tradition I always look forward to is welcoming relatives from the Philippines and abroad into our home. It becomes a lively, joyful space where family, friends, and even our hardworking helpers gets to share in the celebration. No one is left out, and that sense of inclusion makes the season even more meaningful.

It is a small glimpse into the joy and camaraderie that define our Christmas celebrations.
