It's only one day to go before Christmas eve! And not only the people from the outside world are rushing about to go Christmas shopping because even the housemates were allowed for the first time to do their market outside the big yellow house! After attending the dawn mass, Big Brother announced this exciting chore of theirs, excluding the two houseguests. Later, they recounted how fans took picture of them at the mall even with their blindfolds on. As it was, they only took off their cover during the ten-minute limit for them to pick their groceries for noche buena.

But the thrill of their PBB holiday weekend didn't end there. It seems Big Brother wanted them to stay on their feet as he bestowed his Christmas surprises to each of the housemates. It was Ruben who conveyed his message that they should gather in the living room and sit on their respective chairs every time Christmas songs would be played. And surprise, surprise! Their loved ones arrived individually to greet them a Merry Christmas! The only catch was that they couldn't remove their blindfolds while talking briefly to them and those who failed to return to their place would forfeit their surprise.

Gaby's mom came first, with the gorgeous racer's favorite food like capers and salami as pasalubong. Mariel's grandparents brought steaks, which only added to their bountiful stock this week. Riza on the other hand screamed like she never did before as soon as she realized that the person hugging her was no less than her mom herself! She couldn't believe that her family's really here in the country something that she wished to happen ever since. Meanwhile, the housemates were actually shocked to hear the ever prim and proper Riza get carried away like that. As such, they later quipped that she should try to maintain that open and carefree personality starting today.Nevertheless, they all felt the love flowing between mother and daughter.

After that, a long interval followed where Big Brother played around by making them dash back to the living room, only to find out that the signal wasn't really a Christmas song nor the right one. Perhaps, he was testing them if they were really up for the challenge of receiving their "treats". Anyway, the next guest was Baron's sister who had a letter from her brood, thanking their uncle for the board game he sent them. Who else will make a house call today?
