CHRISTMAS MEMORIES: Ivan Dorschner

What is your most memorable holiday season? How do you intend to celebrate Christmas this year?

I don’t believe in Santa Claus! [But] my first year at the “Pinoy Big Brother” house in 2010, my parents wanted me to return to Los Angeles. My mom called me on my phone: “Merry Christmas! Your gifts are all here!” I described the gifts and all the food, because I was there behind her. She turned around, saw me and cried! I brought family members three gifts each! It was so fun.

This year, I’ll be working. My “family” here are James (Reid), Nadine Lustre, and Bret Jackson… We’ll get together at James’ house during the break. —OLIVER PULUMBARIT
