The Gift of a Hundred Kids

It feels so strange that I could hardly feel the Christmas spirit.  This is I guess the worst Christmas that I haven't been bothered to wrap gifts which is very unusual to me.

I started buying few gifts for my godchildren but I haven't finished it actually.  I haven't been on 1/4 of it.  Time constraints. I have very limited time to go on shopping unlike before that I still have the time and energy to visit Divisoria, Greenhills, tyangges, midnight sale, night market and the malls.  Before I go to bed, I prayed for this… "Sana mafeel ko naman ang Pasko."

So I woke up this morning with a text from Shem reminding me to go to office early so we could buy candies for the 100 kids who will be visiting the office for their own version of ePLDT Kiddie Christmas Party.  Anyone can bring in their kids, cousins, nieces… basta kids!

I feel the excitement while wrapping the candies and seeing the kids so delighted upon seeing the bags of candies and each of them are coming to go and get one… while saying "Merry Christmas and Thank You!"  I don't know why but the smiles in them bring back all the enthusiasm in me to celebrate Christmas.  I feel like a child again while roaming around to distribute it.  Kids that I hardly know just smile when somebody gives them their presents. 

I really love kids… kids not mine hahahaha  I just simply love them and how sincerely they smile and look at strangers while saying "thank you!"  It's enough for me to say "Thank You for that 100 smiles" I saw this morning.  Sobrang ang saya saya ko…

Haaayyy… Christmas is really for the kids… and their smiles will always remind the adults that there are good reasons to celebrate it… not for the gifts but for the baby born on this day.

Merry Christmas….. 100 kids!   Hopefully next year… i could bring my Baby Pooh here hehehe

Galing! Paglalabanan ko yang time constraints na yan.. budgetary constraints na lang.. hahaha
