Clan Reunion
When the clan's matriarch was still alive, we meet on December 25 and on December 31. The feast was being prepared by my Nanay with her assistants (Nana, Uncle Nes, etc.).On December 25, it is my Lola's "gift" to the salesperson (tindera) from the wet market (palengke) my Lola owns. This is also when we are able to get our aguinaldo from our aunts, uncles, lolo, lola, etc.
On the eve of the new year, it is just family. I come up with games, my Nanay is the game master and sponsor for the prizes. All join the games--aunts, uncles, cousins, kids. What made it fun, even if the prize is just candies and chocolate, my aunts cheat!
When my Lola and my Nanay moved on, there are no more reunions. So, I decided to treat my nieces and nephew every year at Enchanted Kingdom. This way, they would bond.
Now, the (family) corporation took the helm. Every year, there is a reunion at my cousin's house in Alabang, sponsored by the corporation.
For this year, my niece Pam, and my brother and his other family will not be joining. My niece would be watching the Super Junior concert. My Kuya? He has his reasons. But it will not damper the mood.
Everyone had fun!
