YES! magazine celebrates this year's merry Season by featuring four well-known celebrity families—all gladly sharing their Yuletide tradition and what it means to them.
The magazine's offering surely hits home as it vividly paints the spirit of Christmas as we Pinoys practice it; that is, by celebrating the Season with the entire family.
Gracing the cover is Kris Aquino together with cager husband James Yap and sons Josh and Baby James.
"Ang Christmas Eve namin this year, hindi pa namin nade-decide," said Kris in the interview. In light of former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino's ongoing bout with colon cancer, Kris revealed how they altered their usual routine on Christmas Eve: "Always talaga before, it was in my mom's house. So, since she doesn't stay there now, I don't know if it will be in my house or my sister's house."
The feature reveals an interesting facet of the game-show host—her fascination with Christmas trees. YES! writes, "Kris ended up buying trees of five different colors—green, blue, orange, magenta, and yellow green." A proud Kris allowed YES! to take pictures of the trees complete with interesting background stories behind the purchase.
Other celebrity families who share their Christmas traditions are Judy Ann Santos and her Mommy Carol, Dawn Zulueta together with husband Anton Lagdameo and son Jacobo, and Richard Gomez with wife Lucy Torres and daughter Juliana.
BABIES AND MORE. Making the issue even more heartwarming are the celebrity moms and their adorable babies. Catch a glimpse of Jodi Sta. Maria with son Thirdy, Carlene Aguilar with bundle of joy Calix Andreas, Danica Sotto and six-month-old Jean Michel, Julia Clarete and her rocker tot Tepid, Sheree and the lovable Gian Haley, Gladys Reyes and her two kids Gian Christophe and Gianna Sommereux, Mickey Ferriols and the cheerful Brent Marcus, Jackie Forster with her active two-year-old son Jared Alfred, Meryll Soriano together with "happy baby" Elijah, and Camille Prats and her "pilyo" chubby-cheeked baby, Nathaniel Ceasar.
