Monita-Monito... Kris Kringle... Secret Santa...

We don't practice these things anymore here in our office. In fact, even the exchange gift is already turned down. I for one, don't like it, because if i see somebody being given by her monito, something for the day, and i have given mine too, yet i didn't receive anything from my monito, i would be hurt. So better not have it anymore.

yeah.. that's a filipino tradition.. some does that kris kringle if they're in a job or at school... well that's a good question, i don't remember when my last kris kringle... i think it's was may high school days... but this year my friends like to do some exchange gifts... :D you said "Well, I don't! *sigh... I've been jobless for 3 years and away from friends and relative.My neighbors are not sociable either...I'm bored! hmmmmp!..." well were same, i don't even have a job.. well for now i don't know if i can afford of exchange gifts with my friends either... oh that's sad... why away from family and friends then? why don't you go home yet?:D if you don't mind :)

I am working but we are not used to having a Kris Kringle or an exchange gift. I guess because we have so many on mind to still bother on it. And we usually attend 3 Christmas Party and that would mean a lot of money to contribute. I can't even remember the last time that I've joined a Kris Kringle. Maybe it would be fun if we do it within our own family. My kids are excited to their coming Christmas Party on December 16. They still don't know who is their Monito but as soon as they had the names, we will start buying their gifts and of course their Christmas clothes that they will use.

Not in my company but in my group within the company :D And we don't so the Kris Kingle thing but we do exchange gifts. We prefer giving gifts which the receiver requests so we write down our "Christmas List" for the rest of the group to see :P We used to have Kris Kringle before but some of us end up getting disappointed with the "something-something" rule so we opted to the traditional exchange gift :D

Here in our company,we don't have kris kringle for this year.They get lazy of buying gifts weekly for their babies.We just have monito monita for the Christmas party.

Why not trying having exchange gifts here in mylot :) Me and my family still do this kris kringle with other relatives. we actually did it last year and we had alot of fun. I must say, life must have been a little bit cruel to you that you are suffering from boredom. You can always enjoy here in mylot so that you won't feel bored my friend. have a nice day. cheers

In my company we usually don't have the "something" kind when exchanging gifts. We use aliases and then we have a wall where we post what we like to receive using our alias. That way, the person who gets your alias name knows what he/she will buy for you. Still their is an agreed minimum amount of money for that.

The last time I've practiced that was... hmmm I can't remember I've worked in a Muslim country before and these things are not actually done weven when there were Filipino colleagues too.

Nice to have those during Christmas right..But really,i am not missing those because we don't have those when i was working.. :-( Because our group is filled with boys,i am the only girl,we don't do exchange gifts.. We only have Christmas party but not the party that most company has.We just bring food to the job site and eat lunch.We give them presents and they boss gives us bonus.But after eating we will just part ways like. A for my Family,we dont exchange gifts,we just eat and give the kids their presents..

We don't do the Kris Kringle anymore because it is expensive to buy gifts several times and we do not have the luxury of time to buy gifts. However, my husbunny does this in their office. At one time, he brought home some gelatin because their theme then was something colorful (if my memory serves me right). In my school, we have exchange gift. We have three Christmas parties - for the students, for the Coop members and for the faculty. I joined the exchange gift with my students. I asked them to write what they want to receive so that we'll have any idea what the person wants. For the other parties, we have not yet been told if we're going to have exchange gifts. Anyway, Christmas is just around the corner. I simply love this season!

We did that during my high school days. But now that I am working, we don't do that in our office. Our names are written in a small piece of paper then we have to pick one. Some of us will give a hint on what kind of gift they like to receive during Christmas party.
