EN: to be able to celebrate Christmas
For OFWs, seafarers, and BPO agents on a night shift, this is the goal: to be able to spend Christmas with family. It's not about receiving gifts (that's 'makapamasko'), but about being present and celebrating the holiday itself. 'Sana makapasko ako sa Pinas this year.'
From "maka-" (ability prefix) + "Pasko" (Christmas, from Spanish *Pascua*).
Distinguishable from "makapamasko". This verb is about the ability to participate in the celebration, not receive gifts.
