Singapore — Christmas is the perfect time to express gratitude to the people in our lives, from exchanging greetings and gifts to hosting lavish dinners. Even if you are not a traditionalist.

More than sequins and sparkles, it’s also about spending time with loved ones, welcoming new members of the family, becoming “pawrents,” and contributing to the community. Even if you’re a celebrity.

See what Fann Wong, Rui En, and Cheryl Wee got up to on Christmas Day!
