I always look forward to Christmas when I was a child. It is the day to receive gifts and money from generous ninongs and ninangs, and aunts and uncles. Even my grandfather gives gifts to all of his grandchildren.
My ampao is full of money back then. I had new toys. I had new shirts. I even enjoyed the Christmas feast with my relatives. But things changed when I grew older. I’m now the giver instead of the recipient of the gifts.
That’s why I’m pleased when I received some unexpected gifts from my friends.

The first gift that I got came from the rocky island of Romblon. It is a mortar and pestle made of Romblon’s marble (marmol). I don’t know if my Beloved and I will use it in the future.
Well, at least I already have a souvenir from Romblon even though I haven’t visited the place.
Another gift that I got came from a pro-life friend. It came from a more distant land.

It was a rosary from the birth-place of Jesus Christ and a necklace from a lake that is also connected to Him.
I also got an item from CD-R King during a Christmas party in the office. It is a very useful item, which allows me to charge my electronic devices on the go.

A very good friend gave yummy mango float as her Christmas gift during my recent trip to Davao. Masarap gumawa ng mango float, pwede na mag-asawa. ;-)
The mango float is gone. What was left is her message.
But the best gift that I got this Christmas is...
