Pinoy Christmas Day Family Reunion

Each family has their dress color theme. A big clan will run out of primary colors. Christmas day is a chance to exchange gifts with family. It takes imagination to make the gifts look valuable. The mother usually comes with a big bag full of gifts. She goes home with a bigger bag with gifts and excess food. The karaoke portion is where everybody gets to sing.  The out-of-tune singers are applauded for bravery and being thick skinned. The excess amount of  alcohol ingested during Christmas day get-together will make the bathroom toilet bowl the most visited place in the house and not the kitchen or the sala. Younger family members will be mixing different alcohols into cocktails. The senior members will be talking about cocktails of prescription medicines. The last man standing in drinking session will be the last man walking out of the Christmas party. Potluck food such as meat dishes, fruit cake, Queso De Bola, ham, macaroni, salads.

It reaches to a point like a jail inmate marking Xs on the wall until freedom day. When you go on trip to buy gifts in Divisoria, you might chance upon Isko Moreno who has his own countdown with vendors if they don't tidy up. Every house is stringing Christmas li...

The members are expected to plan the party to be wholesome and fun, except for the parlor games which will surely not pass MTRCB "R" rating. There's no overtime pay during Christmas parties. Only overtime karaoke. The President of the company plays Santa Claus and gives out gifts during the Christmas party.The rest of the year he plays Scrooge. The company's suggestion box will surely be full of suggestions for the former. Each department prepare for their group presentation during Christmas party. They are highly competitive. They should do that more often in actual work. During the Christmas season we only wish well for everybody, except for the Christmas raffle where we wish everybody will get the minor prizes. Employees would say they are not lucky in Christmas party raffle, as long as their lucky in their love life. The usual dress color themes for office Christmas parties are ei...
