I know this is the season for gift giving- exchanging gifts especially here in my country.
X-mas or December season is one of the best holiday here in our country and Philippines is known as the country for having the longest Christmas celebration which started from
December 16 till January 6 (^_^)
I do expect gifts from friends and relatives.
However, I started receiving unexpected gifts from my loved ones.
My mom called the other day telling about a package (well- she always sends cash,-but this time with a parcel)
Then, last night I open my email and another surprise gift is coming from my virtual parents (I don't want to call them my virtual parents-they treat me like real daughter)
Yah, from my parents here in mylot.
They are sending me a wonderful gift and for my daughter
Are you receiving early gifts from beloved ones dear mylotters?
Wishing everyone a Great Sunday
jaiho® - expecting more gifts and surprises coming their way (*_^)

You're really blessed dear
I don't expect more gifts because I don't have so much friends But my two greatest friends never fails to give me a gift during this season. Especially that their gifts for me serves "double purpose" as they say. For Christmas and my special day. =)
Enjoy the gifts jai. And you really made it sure that everyone will notice that you're expecting more surprises

Good for you, jaiho!
I have not received any early gifts but I'm actually not thinking about it. What I'm thinking about are the gifts that I will be giving to my loved ones.

I have just received a gift from my sister in law! It feels great. I thought I would no longer have this feeling, not until now. I realized then that there's always a child with in us, kept hidden, and if given the chance, would show up.

Last week, we had two big boxes under our Christmas tree and my husband told me that I can open those as my early gift which I opened right away, lol! So, those were my early Christmas gift....

dear sis, here in India Xmas is mostly celebrated by the christian community whereas for the rest its just another holiday in the calendar year and unfortunately this time it comes on a sunday so those who are working will be cross because they have lost an extra holiday.I,like most of my countrymen have never celebrated Christmas and have never given or received any gifts.for us Divali is the equivalent of Xmas which you already know about.

jaiho -- i wish I visit jaiho's house so that I can take away many of the gifts !!. Enjoy. I wish you get many more gifts in the days to come and you also give gifts to your close people.
Giving gives pleasure . We cannot give to everybody. The receiver must be willing to take first from us. good day.
