Between homes and the streets. We hold meals in our homes for the holidays,
as we value home-cooked meals. However, we are people who enjoy going out,
so we often go out to celebrate at bars or even in the streets. For example, the
Christmas Eve celebration entails going to a bar with friends until the wee hours
(early hours) of the morning, followed by a family lunch the next day.
