Of course, being together with my family and being happy and healthy. And we’re safe from harm. Of course, being given this chance and opportunity to be able to sing,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;Christmas talaga is a time to really bond with my family. And we always try to be there for each other especially during this time. Kasi meron nga nagtanong, do you spend it outside the country? Or do you go somewhere? Pero we always try to spend it at home with just family,” she added. </p><p>The YuleStars performer said Christmas for her is not about exchanging the most pricey gifts. </p><p>“Of course, it’s not naman important how expensive it is. Ako, I’ve always tried to give my family what I think they need. At saka mas thoughtful yung gift, mas na-a-appreciate. Especially since I have an eight-year-old kid and an 11-year-old. So, we try to stress that the gifts are not that important,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;But the time we spend with each other is the true meaning of Christmas. &#x27;Yung mga gifts naman, yung something that they could use like for education, for my husband naman, hindi &#x27;yun mahingi ng regalo,&quot; she added. </p><p>&quot;So &#x27;yung mga alam ko na gustong gusto niya na hindi niya mahingi sa akin, yun yung mga binibigay ko sa kanya. I think for me it’s about understanding and forgiveness. Because during these times you just forget whatever it is na burden sa ‘yo. Just let it go and then let love fill your heart na lang during this time,” she continued. </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-9" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CzNb-JQPozE/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A9%2C%22os%22%3A8420919.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1003" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-9" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Earlier this year, Roselle talked about deciding to return to performing on stage in the Valentine&#x27;s Day concert “All Heart” alongside other 90s OPM artists. </p><p>She shared the reason behind her comeback, saying: “Pinag-isipan ko nga ng maraming-maraming beses, kung tatanggapin ko ang show na ito. Pero siguro it’s a sign for me to go back in to something that I really love to be which is singing.&quot; </p><p>&quot;I hope to do more shows in the future this year. Sana makagawa ako ng maraming mga concerts, maraming mga shows and most of all, to do other songs. Actually, before the pandemic, I had [an] offer to record, kaya lang hindi ko nagawa kasi nga pandemic happened and then na-delay ng na-delay. I’m hoping that soon magawa ko na rin siya,&quot; she added. </p><p>The &quot;YuleStars Christmas Concert&quot; series is a three-day event with different performers lined up in each show starting on November 30 with Joey Generoso and Angeline Quinto, Jose Mari Chan, Roselle Nava, and Christian Bautista on December 1 and Ogie Alcasid and Nina on December 2. </p><p>Meanwhile, Ice Seguerra will be a special guest on the November 30 and December 2 shows. </p><p>All shows will start at 8:30 PM and are set to be held at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater at the Circuit Mall, Makati City.</p><p>Tickets to the event are now available via <a href="http://ticketworld.com/">Ticketworld.com</a>.</p>
