Summary
Aiah Arceta is used to being number one in her six-year-old daughter’s life.
Then Tala comes home from school and announces that Aiah has been demoted.
Number one is now Teacher Mikha, Tala’s new substitute teacher, who plays guitar, fixes broken bracelets, remembers who hates bananas, and apparently understands six-year-olds better than anyone else alive.
This is fine. Aiah is completely fine.
She is only rearranging her work schedule to attend pickup because responsible parents should know the adults around their children. And she only volunteers to help Mikha plan Family Night because someone has to stop her from organizing an entire school event with cardboard, glitter, and a program written on the back of a worksheet.
It has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy.
Or the fact that Teacher Mikha is annoyingly charming.
Or the possibility that Aiah might want to be Mikha’s favorite person too.

Summary
In the quiet chaos of Manila's old families and high society circles, eight young women slowly find themselves becoming part of one another's lives.
They come from different worlds and want different things, but they're all carrying something: family expectations, old heartbreaks, dreams that feel too big, or feelings they don't quite know how to put into words.
Some have been friends since childhood. Some meet much later and somehow become just as important.
As the lines between friendship, family, and love begin to blur, they find themselves leaning on one another in ways they never expected. And somewhere between all the celebrations, arguments, late-night conversations, and ordinary days, they start to realize that the people who change your life are not always the ones you were looking for.
If they could choose for themselves, who would they become? And who would they choose to love?

Summary
Two childhood friends that drifted apart for years were suddenly forced to spend Christmas together by their families.
One who've never fallen in love before and the other, a broken-hearted girl fresh out of a terrible relationship.
Both were seemingly different from how they used to be.
Is Christmas still going to work its magic the way it used to be when they were kids?
