Kasama family sa Batangas, ganun lang.
Yung karaniwang handa ng mga Pilipino. Wow, lechon! Siyempre ‘di mawawala yung lechon. Lechon, pansit, ganun. Yun lang! Tapos cakes, shanghai, wowww! Yun lang.

Wala, uwi lang sa bahay. Tapos onting salo-salo. Tapos yun, magpapahinga. Balik naman dito. Hanapbuhay ulit kinabukasan. Ganun lang.
May konting ano lang, adobo, ganun. Pangkaraniwan lang. Wala naman kasi kaming ano… ganun lang ang ano namin tuwing Pasko. Pupunta sa mga kapatid, yan lang.

Magtamba–um. I’m just gonna have fun. Actually right now, medyo nag-off ako on social media and everything, so I’m alone. I wanna spend Christmas with myself, with my family.
Usually yung handa, I’m not in charge of it. So my sister, usually they order pasta–yung usual Christmas ano. Tapos nagluluto sila ng chicken. Pero usually they just order in na eh. Before siguro, nagluluto talaga, pero ngayon since medyo tumatanda yung mom ko, she just prefers to order in. So nago-order kami ng maramihan nang food.

Makauwi sana kami ng misis ko kasi nandun sa probinsya yung mga anak namin. ‘E gusto sana namin makasama. Pero sa ano nalang… next year. January pa kasi kami makakauwi.
Ano lang ma’am, yung mga… pansit, spaghetti, tapos yung mga normal lang. Mga Pilipino foods, ganun.

I don’t have plans. I’m just gonna stay at home. Probably order in a charcuterie board or something and then just spend that Christmas with my brother and my cats.
Sa family namin, ang handa namin is usually around mga 3 to 5 na ulam. Tapos may mga fruit salad for dessert, may spaghetti yan, ham–typical na Christmas na handa dito sa’tin. Very simple, kumbaga.
