Family, Food, and the Christmas Holiday

[23-25 December, 2023]

With a bigger-than-ever family gathering this year, more Filipino food is again on order than ever as well, along with some old reliable holiday desserts. Also new this year, fun games and an exciting white elephant gift exchange. None of the white stuff this year but nevertheless a very memorable Christmas in the books!
