Christmas was always a big occasion in my home as I was growing up, and I believed in Santa Claus until I was around 10. I tend to celebrate it more when I was married, but I had a big Christmas when I was in Cebu in 2010, and was surrounded by lots of children.
I also recall giving some Christmas gifts to my girlfriend's roommates, and they were in their mid-twenties, and they told me that was the first Christmas gift that they had ever received. I found that astonishing because I was given lots of presents throughout my life.
I have to admit, I like to be around children, especially during the Christmas holidays. It is a blessing to help to make a child happy, and see their excitement, curiosity, and joyful spirit.
Advance Merry Christmas! as they say in the Philippines.
