"I will be celebrating at my Tita's house in Pittsburg, CA. It's very Pinoy Occassion. We have so much Filipino food that everyone will take home baon after the obligatory picture-taking session. It's a large gathering with all the cousins and babies present.There will most likely be a proogram where kids can show their talent and the elders their sense of humor. We ha an additional tradition of playing charades, a hula hoop competition, and FPJ movie (with subtitles for the the Fil-Ams). This year we will likely be interacting with our Manila family via Facebook or video chat. Pasko na tayo!"--Ron Quesada, KULINTRONICA, Guitar, Kulintang, Bass:Autonomous Region, OAKLAND, CA
