as the COVID-19 cases around the country begin to decline. It’s encouraging to
hear some good news especially now that Christmas time is near.
At last, we can opt to physically celebrate with our loved ones especially for
many of us who have already been vaccinated and even received booster shots.
However, we still shouldn’t keep our guard down and still opt for a safe
celebration.

invitees to a minimum. Practice safe distancing and health protocols like
wearing face masks even while at home. if you are opting for a virtual reunion,
you can still make it fun with a little creativity.

there’s nothing quite like celebrating the holidays with our loved ones in
person, we can still add a little spice to our online reunions.

you to make it lively:

Filipino reunions and Christmas parties are not complete without parlor games.

that by organizing virtual games like “Bring Me,” “Pinoy Henyo,” and even the
riotous “Face The Cookie.”

PayMaya, and bank transfers.
