Ladies of Hive is such a fantastic community, and I'm glad to participate in this one after being idle for a month due to our Midterm examinations.
So, hmm... should I answer one or two questions? Well, I'll answer two! So here it is.
Question #1. Do you like to travel during the holidays, or stay close to home?
Well, this is a tough question coz I'm in between. Annually, we celebrate Christmas as a whole family with my aunt, cousins, and grandparents. So, every Christmas, we travel to Manila to celebrate with them.
If our entire fam wants to celebrate Christmas in the province, we'll go to our province, hehe.
Here are some of our photos from last Christmas 2018 where we celebrate the holiday in Makati City. Sadly, we celebrated there too in 2019, but I do not have any formal photos, lmao. Then, last 2020, we celebrate it in our home in Laguna, exclusive only to our family of five, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most of my fam are religious persons, so I got along with them when they visited the church. I love the aura of the pre-pandemic surrounding. 😍
Our aunt also brought us to this mall called "SM Aura" where every person screams expensive, hehe. They have this giant Christmas tree and we got to dine in at Starbucks.
I love to celebrate with my fam in Laguna, but this Christmas is different. My sister and I will celebrate Christmas in Manila, and my Mom and my brother will celebrate Christmas at home (in Laguna).
Why?
Because I wanna be away from home due to the stress of failing the midterm examinations, hehe. I wanna be in Manila coz I want to go to Bonifacio Global City (BGC), eat out, watch movies, and buy books with my ever-supportive aunt. I know that when I shared with her that my scores on midterms failed, she'll understand. And she just did! She also poured so many encouraging words to me yesterday hehe.
P.s. Our exams had no choices. :< I'm an accountancy student, so our exams mostly involve problem-solving, and having no choices in exams puts us with so much risks.
So, you can say, I really like spending Christmas away from our house. But I like spending it at home. Does that stir your mind, hehe?
Well, my family is my home, so I also like to spend Christmas at home. 🥰
Question #2. What is your favorite holiday food, and why?
I really love flavored chicken wings, lasagna, and mango graham cake for holidays with a touch of soju and wine. 🤍🤍
These foods are rarely prepared, and tasting them at Christmas gives so much satisfaction. I don't have any pictures of them coz back then, I don't particularly appreciate taking pictures of food. I just want them in my mouth asap, lol.
For chicken wings flavors, I mostly love the garlic parmesan, spicy, honey, and many more! (in short, all, haha)
How about you? How do you prefer celebrating Christmas? What foods give you so much feeling when tasting them that you wanna put on your table these upcoming Holidays?
Tagging these beautiful ladies of Hive to do this challenge (I can only tag a few, it's sad coz most of the HCBC have been crippled by the Super Typhoon :<< Fighting guys!):
I hope you got a good read here. Have a lovely day, everyone!
