It\u2019s celebrated by Latin, Spanish and Filipinos around the world. We usually celebrate this with a dinner with lots of food, ham, cheese and all the other trimmings. My whole family then goes to church for mass on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to celebrate the birth of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>And we can\u2019t forget the family reunions! This usually starts from the beginning of December, all the way to New Year\u2019s Eve. We have parties with different families \u2013 including relatives I haven\u2019t seen in years or ever in my life! It&#8217;s a good reminder that I have a huge family and that there are many people to rely on in times of need.<br \/>\n<em>\u2013 Lorena Aurellado, Bookkeeper<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>3. Winter in the tropics<\/h3>\n<p>I love Christmas! I&#8217;m one of those losers who misses winter during Christmas in Singapore. So, I turn the aircon temperature to 16 degrees in my condo, wear woollen Xmas pyjamas and slippers, and pretend to be somewhere cold where it&#8217;s snowing. My husband and I also watch the 2003 festive movie, Love Actually, every year.<br \/>\n<em>\u2013 Khushi Raj, Account Manager<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>4.

Every year, we get fewer presents, but we still like hanging out together. We aren&#8217;t always in the same space at the same time, so this is the perfect excuse. Presents are also usually meant to be a surprise, but I like to ask them what they want for Christmas. That way, they&#8217;ll have something they\u2019ll actually use!<br \/>\n<em>\u2013 Ashe Liao, Junior Content Writer<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>5.

We pick out (a real) one together, decorate it, and enjoy the cosy vibes and fresh scent well into the new year. We always gather for a feast on Christmas Eve or Day, where the table\u2019s piled high with turkey and all its stuffings, ham, roast meat, pasta, dessert and bottles of wine. Before the night\u2019s over, we exchange our gifts and it\u2019s a frenzy of happy unboxing.
