d in love pe The long hours we spent sitting in traffic, the day we walked around the mall and got the worst leg pain ever, and the snaking queues at the check-out lines we endured suddenly feel worth it. While the tradition of giftgiving on Christmas day traces its roots back to several centuries past, the pleasure and excitement of giving and receiving gifts is ever-present. We love to give them and we love to receive them. We Filipinos are innately generous, even the late world-renowned chef and host Anthony Bourdain attested to it. “Filipinos are, for reasons I have yet to figure out, probably the most giving of all people on the planet,” he said in an episode of Parts Unknown. We fly abroad to work just so we can make money and improve the lives of our families. We deal with homesickness and we just bite our lip and carry on, because that’s nothing compared to the good life we could give to the people we love. And come Christmas, these OFWs fill huge balikbayan boxes to the brim with imported canned goods, chocolates, toys, and shoes for their loved ones back home. We always share our blessings, especially when there’s a little extra; we share our food with our neighbors and we give pasalubong to people close to us. And yes, we go the extra mile on Christmas. You see, it’s not what’s inside the box that matters—it does, of course, but it’s only a part of it—it’s the thought and love that’s been put into the gift. Tradition aside, what makes holiday gift-giving more special is because people during this merry season are kinder and more generous. So to help those looking for presents to give to their parents, siblings, cousins, friends, and colleagues, we present, in the last of our two-part holiday supplement series, a gift guide featuring a wide range of items and where to find them. Want to give your boss or a favorite aunt something special? Read our short list of sweet treats, from cakes to chocolates, that you can give to them or, better yet, enjoy for yourself. Also, learn how to handle an awkward gift-giving situation, a.k.a. when you receive something you already have or don’t need or gave to the person who’s giving it back to you (unknowingly or otherwise). And give your friends the gift of a fun Christmas party by learning how to throw one. Finally, on behalf of Manila Standard, we would like to thank those who helped us unwrap this year’s Christmas supplements. Have a wonderful Christmas! –Bernadette Lunas

You can also give everyone the chance to show off their talents through a mini talent show. Ask them to take their performance a notch higher and skip the usual songand-dance numbers and instead do a short comedy skit.

Set up a DIY photo booth

Pictures will always be a proof of valuable memories that occurred in a gathering. Make memorable moments captured instantly by preparing a photo booth. If you’re on a tight budget, you can make your own booth by setting up a camera on a tripod and several festive cloths to serve as a backdrop. Gather props such as colorful wigs, oversized glasses, santa hats, faux fur scarves, and toy crowns, among others.

Serve a dinner featuring everyone’s favorite food

Aside from bonding with friends and families, another thing guests look forward to the most in these parties is the food. Now is the time to whip out those recipes you’ve spent the entire year pinning.

family-style sharing and encourage guests’ interaction. For instant Christmas ambiance, use green table cloth to line the buffet. Add evergreen leaves or fresh pine to the table. Arrange a couple of potted red poinsettias to make a table centerpiece. Scatter green and red apples on the buffet table, and mix in contrasting textures and colors of fruits, such as small mandarin oranges, red cherries, or ripe guavas.

Set up a movie corner

Another way of bonding with guests is setting up a corner where they can watch heartwarming and hilarious holiday films such as Home Alone or The Santa Clause. This will amp up the festive vibes for your Christmas party and keep your guests entertained. Before the guests arrive, prepare the projector, spread bean bags and soft pillows around, and transfer finger foods such as chips, fish crackers, and peanuts into small bowls. This will keep the guests busy and delighted while you’re cleaning up or setting the dinner table.

Bust out the karaoke

From belting out the joyful holiday hits of Michael Bublé to singing whistle notes like Mariah Carey, your guests will surely have a laugh-filled night jamming to good ‘ol hits. Rent a karaoke machine and get your guests together for a holiday song throwdown after the program has ended. After all, for Filipinos, any occasion is a perfect time to bring out the karaoke. Supply the guests with a range of snacks such as mini sandwiches, fresh skewered watermelon or pineapple cubes, and individually-wrapped chocolate crinkles.

The Season of Giving

‘tis the season of awkward

gift-giving situations a more delicate and indirect approach. For instance, you may suggest that you want to receive baked treats instead of presents or you may suggest that your relatives start a new gift-giving tradition. You can also try dropping subtle hints about your Christmas wish list. say something like, “Boy, I’ve got a closet full of sweaters. It’d be nice to get a pair of cat-eye sunglasses next year.” According to etiquette expert Daniel sen-

By Paola Navarette

I

t’s not the holidays until your grandma gave you the bulkiest sweater you’ve ever seen, your friend got you a CD of a band you detest, your colleague got you another coffee mug, and your aunt gave you a green polka dotted shirt.

It’s true that while gift-giving can be a thoughtful and heartwarming experience, it can also put you in a predicament if you receive a gift from someone you don’t expect, if the gift doesn’t fit your personality, or if a gift is something that you already have. Almost everyone will receive an unpleasant gift, but that doesn’t mean you have to make the gift giver feel bad, too. so here are five easy ways to deal with awkward gift-giving moments:

Keep your cool

Whether we like it or not, we will receive a gift once and a while that we don’t like, or that we already own. At the very least, try to keep your composure while your great aunt gives you a unicorn-themed gift that she’s been giving you for the past 18 years. Maintaining eye contact, while engaged in a conversation with the gift giver, is also helpful while you’re in the middle of a gift-giving “disaster.” “It’s only awkward if you make it a big deal,” said life coach stephanie Jones in an article published on chicagotribune.com.

Practice gratitude

Acknowledgment of a gift is a matter of grace. It is gracious to understand the intent behind a gift and express happiness upon receiving it. think about why they gave you the gift and thank them for that reason. Even if the gift giver made a wrong choice, they probably had

In terms of gifts, you will never be disappointed if you don’t have any expectations.

at least one good reason for it. Focus instead on acknowledging their thoughtfulness and generosity. simply say, “You must have remembered that I love music. thanks for the CD! I’m always looking forward to expanding my music collection.” In terms of gifts, remember that you will never be disappointed if you don’t have any expectations. sincere gift-giving, after all, is someone’s way of expressing gratitude or appreciation, and an expression of social ties that brings individuals together.

Ask a few questions

If things get a little more awkward, consider asking the gift giver about the present and how they thought of it. this is a good distraction from discussing whether or not you’ll use it. Ask them if they’ve got one themselves, ask where they bought it, or ask how best to use it, if applicable. say something like: “I don’t think I

have seen such colorful socks like these; where did you get them? Do you have a pair for yourself?”

Provide gift suggestions

For some, having a prior conversation about presents they want to receive with family or friends feels like a violation of etiquette. But it is not. It is best to have a list of ideas to share when gift suggestions are asked by a friend or a relative. Remember to be sensitive to the dynamics of each relationship. In some relationships, open and direct conversation is welcome and encouraged. Other relationships, however, may require for

ning in an article published on Forbes. com, “It’s natural for traditions to evolve, but it’s nice to get everybody on board ahead of time. so, whenever you’re dealing with a change in tradition, it’s best to talk to everyone involved as soon as possible to explain why you want to make the change.”

Consider re-gifting

Be honest, we’ve all done it. Whether you’ve got the same present twice or the gift doesn’t really suit your personality, you can always give it to someone who needs it or who would love it. A number of sub-rules, however, have sprung up around re-gifting to make it more socially acceptable. First, be absolutely sure that the original gift giver won’t accidentally find out you’re regifting it. For example, a gift from a second-cousin can be re-gifted to a former colleague. this should prevent a gift from finding its way back to the original giver like a fruitcake. second, make sure the person to whom you’re passing it along will appreciate it greatly. You don’t want to give the recipient a coffee-maker if you know she only drinks tea. And, finally, always rewrap the gift. Removing the old wrapper gives you a chance to check if there’s a personal note written for you. Etiquette expert Blais Comeau said in an interview with cbc.ca to make sure the original gift giver won’t find out and take offense. “Don’t do it if it’s a family heirloom, don’t do it if it’s handmade or personalized in any way for you. Make sure to freshen up the package and that the original wrapping is still there,” she said.

Christmas treats that come in pairs

By MJ Blancaflor

Ah, Christmas is just around the corner and we would never let this jovial time pass. No wonder many of us are on diet in January. the birth of our savior is a feast, so this merrymaking season calls for parties and titillating food. An interesting part of Pinoy Christmas menu is some of these tasty meals come in pairs. 1. Puto bumbong and bibingka. Made of sweet rice, puto bumbong is a purple-colored dessert cooked in hollow bamboo tubes placed on a special steamer-cooker. It is served with margarine, sugar, and coconut. Its partner, bibingka, is made of rice flour and coconut milk. It is baked Ferino’s puto in layers and topped bumbong and bibingka with butter and sugar.

the latter is a velvety custard made from egg yolks steamed in a small baking pan and has a rich caramelized topping perfect for the festive mood.

Pork lechon with rice

4. Rice and any viand. As a rice-loving country, Filipinos will never miss serving rice on the dining table—whatever the occasion might be. And yes! this goes well with any viand available on hand.

2. Ham and bread. Filipinos are fond of sweet-tasting food. that’s why our Christmas hams are either encrusted with brown sugar or blanketed with a syrupy glaze. It tastes good with white bread bought from our favorite bakery or supermarket. 3. Ube halaya and leche flan. sweeten up the Christmas Eve with these two delightful desserts.

Pynocare is an oral capsule that’s dermatologist-tested to help minimize melasma or “dark spots” commonly found on the forehead, cheeks, nose bridge, shoulders as well as in other parts of the body.

Pynocare contains MSCC (Melasma Skin Clear Complexion) Complex, a patented combination of powerful antioxidants such as Procyanidin and Vitamins A, C and E that work together effectively by acting deep within the layers of your skin to help normalize its melanin levels, resulting in light, spot-less and radiant skin in just 8 weeks! For the best results, just take the recommended dosage of 1 capsule twice daily after meals for 2 months, for a light-on-the pocket price of only P 67.75 per capsule. Experience the joys of the season when you give yourself the gift of spot-less skin from Pynocare.
