Reflection on the first point,
Growing up on a family of 6 and born as the youngest, I usually am the most excited one when Christmas season draws near. I used to be the one to put up the star on top of the Christmas tree. am the most eccentric one when it comes to opening gifts. My siblings and I used to make our own versions of Christmas lanterns.

Lechon or whole suckling pig is very popular in the Philippines especially during special occasions or celebration like Christmas. In fact, lechon is not just a popular food during the holiday season but a Christmas tradition.

Objection to the first point, Why Lechon is always in the table when they have special occasions? Fiesta, wedding, and all celebration, especially in Christmas time. And Why Filipinos favorite this kind of food, and that was very entertaining, because of a have a lot of food to eat, they will also find the special, known as Lechon.
Answer,
Lechon has always been part of every occasion. May it be on any festivities being celebrated or even a simple meal on the table just because. It is the most celebrated Filipino dish of all times.

Respect after all is one way of achieving peace in every occasion.

    Lily Wong, in her article about food, entitled “Eating the Hyphen,” states, “Perhaps this combination (ketchup and dumplings) has something to do with the fact that since both my parents grew up in the States, we’ve embraced many American traditions while abandoning or significantly modifying many Chinese ones” (95).

Wong eats some of her food Americanized, with ketchup, but also eats food that the majority of American’s would not touch (i.e. jellyfish and sea cucumber). Comparatively, Wong eats dumplings (which derive from the Chinese culture) with a fork, knife, and ketchup (which are all culturally American).
