What’s your most memorable Christmas?

“This happened about 10 years ago,” Atom Araullo told the Inquirer. “I spent Christmas covering a riot in Mandaluyong City. I was like, ‘Uy, Pasko na,’ and people are throwing bottles at each other. So that was quite memorable.

“But usually, I spend Christmas Eve with the family. We get together and have Christmas dinner—very simple and traditional. We don’t really travel; we just make sure to spend time with each other.” —ALLAN POLICARPIO
