Christmas day may be over but definitely not the feeling of giving, being kinder, and most especially of love for family and friends.  I still have a hangover from our last family reunion when Daddy, my brothers and I, and each of our children gathered and bonded over loads of food, storytelling, playing, and gift giving.  Christmas is all about spending precious time with your loved ones, the family.

First, let me talk about our Christmas lunch.  We usually have a pot luck so it's more economical plus every family gets to bring their specialty food.  Of course as I've shared in my previous blog posts, I always prepare special and creamy macaroni salad made with Lady’s Choice Real Mayo which makes every reunion and gathering more special.

Wacky pose just like how mommy would instruct us to pose for the camera

One more wacky pose kids!

We get to see each other oftentimes in a year, whether there's a special occasion or none.  But the bonding and celebration is different when it's Christmas.  Iba ang feeling kapag Christmas.  It's a reason not only to celebrate our togetherness but more importantly the birth of Jesus Christ.  The main reason why we celebrate this season.  It's when God ultimately showed His love for us, when He gave His only son Jesus Christ.  This love is what we should share with one another.  The love we should be sharing not just with our family, our close circle, but most importantly with others who are less fortunate than us.  For me, LOVE is the true meaning of Christmas, to share it, to give it.
