A Season of Sharing
Christmas in the Philippines is really a season for gift-giving and sharing. Food and
goods abound in all family households. My parents gave gifts to all the members of the family,
we opened it with the use of my beautiful pink scissors. My grandmother received a new pair of
eyeglasses, my sister got her new braces, and I got shorts and socks for myself. In turn, we gave
each other a huge hug and warm kisses. Truly, Christmas is a time of love, sharing and giving and
there’s no riches that can overpower that.
