Blog From Cebu To The World

Oh it’s Christmas time again! And if you’re working in an office, it is very hard to escape the company’s exchanging gifts activity during the Christmas party. In some, it is compulsory. If you fail to attend the party, you still owe a gift (and will surely receive one too).

I haven’t updated this blog for more than 10 days. I was so busy that I even had less time for sleep, and no time to blog or hop around. It’s been more than a month since I was officially transferred in Manila. There are so many things to be done and so many plans for 2009 hovering in my head. But one thing I’m looking forward to this Christmas is my trip back to Cebu.

How is Christmas celebrated in Cebu? It’s still the Christmas that you and I celebrate. There are parties and family celebrations. The famous lechon of Cebu is always present at the table. (Despite the many lechon I ate here in Manila, I still could not find the familiar taste of Cebu. No sauce needed.) The Christmas trees, kris kringle, singing, and the games are always part of the program. It is such a merry Christmas in Cebu!

The parties I attended here in Manila are nothing compared to being with my dear one back in Cebu. So, despite the steep plane fare price, I booked a ticket just to be with my love this Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas, friends! As you enjoy the holidays, remember Jesus Christ and what He has done for you more than 2,000 years ago!

Kris Kringle is simply another name for Santa Claus. But we often hear the words around our offices only on Christmas Season, and often referred to as the secret exchanging gifts or manito-manita. It’s the time of the year when work mates get to be creative in coming up with the craziest kris kringle gift ideas.

Our office Christmas kris kringle started last week but I haven’t given a gift yet. I had a difficulty recalling the name I picked. I still got to see the list to confirm my suspicions. The alias started with some puss*..something. I have not received a gift either. So it was just fair, or she could be stingy.

When you give out something and buy the best gifts and toys for kids this Christmas, think like a kid for a while and remember your own childhood. I am sure you don’t want to remember that day when you had none, or when you got a girls’ toy instead of a die-cast car you dreamed of. A gift you give today will forever be remembered by them when they grow up. Here’s some to include in your Christmas shopping list:
