COVID-19 has totally changed the way some celebrities celebrate Christmas.
Isn't December a month for family travels?
But because of the threat of the deadly virus and strict safety protocols, celebrating special occasions at home becomes the best option.
Big gatherings are prohibited, too, so a lot of Christmas traditions, such as malaking salu-salo usually hosted by grandparents as well monito monita with cousins flew out of the window.
Sharon Cuneta, however, was ecstatic about her reunion with eldest daughter KC Concepcion.
On Instagram, the Megastar exclaimed. "My complete family this Christmas Eve. God is good ALL the time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LORD JESUS!"
It can be recalled that in January, Sharon wrote an open letter to her daughter stating how much she missed the presence of KC in their family gatherings.
Part of it read, "We missed you at Christmas lunch with the Pangilinans. We missed you on New Year’s Eve, on New Year’s Day, and I certainly missed you on my birthday.
"Where were you, anak? What were you doing? Why not even a text from you?"
In March, they patched things up and have been constantly in touch since then.
Meanwhile, Jackie Forster is having a blast in Boracay.
