Every year, Christmas is one of our most anticipated events, mostly because of the gifts. I have received different kinds of gifts, including gadgets, toys, clothes, books, and, of course, money. But, I would have to say that this year is the most special so far. We just had our annual family exchange gifts and the gifts I got were pretty awesome. I got a red watch(Finally! Hahaha!!) from my godson, and a gift certificate for a massage(Perfect for after DLSU Worlds!) from my sister.

But the one I got from my mother was probably the most special of all. It was a memory frame(That’s what she called it. Hehehe…) filled with things that defined my childhood.

Inside was one of my old shirts, some toy cars, figures of food, and some Lego pieces. Lego and cars were my favorite toys when I was a kid. I remember filling up my room or the sala with all the roads and playsets I had and just run the cars everywhere. There were also times that I would use my Lego sets to decorate the Christmas tree. The food figures showed my usual diet when I was a kid. Yes, that explains EVERYTHING. Hahaha!! And finally, that shirt was one of my favorites because it had my name and my best friend’s name on it. And it’s not even custom. My mom bought it at Robinson’s(where the new wing of ATC is now located) so it was purely coincidental. She’s not done with it yet because it was hard to work on it, considering that me, my sister and my godson were always at home. Yes, all of the “kids” got one each. This definitely beats my top 1 request from the wish list, which was a green polo shirt. Hahaha!! And, as an adult(Yes, feeling! Hahaha!!), I would have to say that no matter how expensive or nice a gift is, it’s really the thought that counts. And my mother definitely put a lot of thought in our gifts. I hope that all of you also have awesome gifts! :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!! :)
