Native treats for Christmas

In the olden days, what we had for Christmas day were the native delicacies especially the native snacks like rice cake. They are all special that we kids await the Christmas day to taste those treats. As we visit the relatives on Christmas day, we bring along some of the native treats to give to our relatives.

But now things have changed. What we bring to the Christmas day reunion is a whole roasted pig, chestnuts, ice cream and fruit salad. Some say that it is a vast improvement with the quality of the food and I have to agree to that. But for sentimental reasons, I still miss the good old days of the native treats.
