The Kitchen Mom by dhess

  T here’s no better time to go all out in celebration than Christmas. With family members coming together to celebrate what is the most loved holiday of the year, our Prime Moms are always looking forward to making it the most memorable celebration ever.   All over the world, it is known that the way we celebrate Christmas in the Philippines is truly unique, and some may say that Paskong Pinoy is the best.

Preparing gifts for our loved ones can be a bit stressful and yet fulfilling. Once we wrapped our gifts for our family, relatives, and friends the first thing that we have in mind is if it is the best gift for them.  This can be the hardest part in the quest on finding that best gift so on my experience, I usually get them something that they can use in their daily routines and something that they can remember me.

If there's one thing that best highlights the joys and abundance of the Christmas season, it's the many feasts and gatherings that bring Filipino families and friends together. Aside from the happy memories, the catching-up and the bonding opportunity, it's the sumptuous dishes coming out of the kitchen and even the take-out box that is truly the centerpiece of every Christmas gathering. The Yuletide Season also marks the opening of many food fairs and bazaars where up and coming food merchants take center stage and get the opportunity to showcase their delicious food products to foodies and the public.
