A first for Janine Gutierrez

My happiest Christmas was when I received my first gift from Santa Claus. The saddest was when I discovered the gift wrapper Santa used in my mother’s (Lotlot de Leon) closet!

We usually spend Christmas visiting relatives and house-hopping—from my Mamita’s (Pilita Corales) place, to Lolo Elvis’ (Eddie Gutierrez) and to my mom’s. I’m not sure how I will celebrate the holidays this year, but I’d love to have noche buena at my condo unit, for the first time, and treat my family to a really good dinner.—ALLAN POLICARPIO INQ
