What’s one thing about holiday family reunions that stresses you out?
A. Nothing, really! I love being around my loved ones surrounded by gifts, food and festivities.
B. Being alone *romantically* on this fine festive season, especially with my cousins and siblings bringing +1s this year.
C. Getting compared to my perfect, poster child of a sibling/cousin throughout the reunion.
D. All the questions about my singlehood. Make. It. STOP.

How do you react when a relative gives unsolicited comments during a reunion?
A. Tbh, I’ve played into their expectations enough for them to leave me alone.
B. It depends on my mood, really. I can either smile to make no fuss or give them a scathing comeback for the biggest fuss of them all.
C. Grin and nod like I’m listening, but I actually fail to retain anything.
D. Smile, bear it and go into the kitchen to drink more alcohol. You know, to keep the peace.

Pick a typical holiday-only dish to scarf down while your family roasts you during the reunion.
A. Bibingka and puto bumbong made fresh, please.
B. Ensaymada and hot chocolate to keep me ~warm~.
C. Lechon, with the crunchy skin, to tune out all the comparisons I’m hearing.
D. Leche flan straight from the llanera—this whole thing is mine.
E. Mom’s fruit salad—no fail every year.
When it comes to gift-receiving, you are:
A. Difficult to find a gift for, supposedly, because I have everything that I need and want!
B. Easy to please! You can give me socks (again) and I’d totally be happy to have them.
C. A gracious gift receiver. I prefer practical gifts, but I won’t turn down whatever I get.
D. I’m told that I’m easy to please, but that’s because I just take all and re-gift some throughout the year.
E. I’m generally grateful for anything, just don’t give me anything too weird or personalized.
However, in terms of gift-giving, you are:
A. Generous as hell! I pay attention to what my loved ones and friends like and try to get them things from their wishlists.
B. Very giving but under certain conditions: I give good gifts that are within budget.
C. Honestly? Generic AF. I usually just hoard chocolate-covered digestives and give them away.
D. A bit lazy. Sometimes I re-gift things, sometimes I just buy everyone generic gifts to give away.

But be honest, what do you *really* want this Christmas?
A. Honestly? Just do my own thing, minus the pressure and expectations I set.
B. A break from everything—work and fulfilling my personal life.
C. For my family to accept that I’m not throwing my life away, their expectations are just too much.
D. A new significant other to have beyond cuffing season, one who’ll love me, flaws and all.
