Since the Christmas is coming to town so Ive decided to join the challenge of maam @gertu13 so this is my entry to your contest. Christmas is the spirit of giving with a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values. This one is just based on my experience along with my 2 sons. Our first time travel with my lil baby kulot.

December 22

Wayback 2019. December 22,2019 we go to Davao City to spend our Christmas Eve along with my lil bro who is Angelo. His living there already for many years with his own family. We travel almost 6 hours from my place and we dont have an airport here so we need to take a bus.

Dinner at Japanese resto

However, lil bro treat us at Japanese resto for a dinner coz he loves japanese foods. His working at Japan for 2 years. Japanese food is very much like chinese food. In the respect that it requires chopsticks with foods such as shrimp, sushi and ramen. But I used spoon hahaha, so that I can finished my food as soon as possible.

I want to travel at Japan also. It just a dream only hehehe. I loved that country so much, the way they respect the people. I salute them, even the kids know how to bow. Their government have good benefits to all Japanese Citizen. I have some friends living there for a few decades already.

Another treat again, at SM ECOLAND. We enjoy roaming around the mall. The kids really loved it also. We dont have a lots of establishments in my hometown so my lil bro really treat us everyday. Were always outside, enjoying the real City. Our lunch is late already. Around 1:30pm due to have a lots if customers that time. We enjoy the great foods they had with pizzas. They give us free wine as a Christmas gift to all customers.

Remember my 3 decades friends? If your my readers since I start my journey here, Im sure you know them. Annalisa and Jeanete are married with Norwegian guys. Then Jeanete and her daughter Julia have a vacation last December 24,2019. She want me to be there at Davao so that we can spend more time with Annalisa. Real family does not come from your blood. It is the people standing beside you when no one else is.

I can call them as a family also and even me also in their part. They always giving time on me even they are far. We spend our Christmas with full of love and happiness. Thats the true meaning of Christmas not just the foods only.

12 midnight.. Its Christmas

Usually in Philippines we really prepare a lots of foods during Noche Buena. Then we sleep so late coz some having a videoke or put some disco lights so that we can dance. Filipinos have simple happiness only, once we spent with Christmas with family its all worth it. The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

Our Christmas gifts...

The gifts from my lil brother, sister in law and her family. Then also to my friend Annalisa and Jeanete. Every Chrismas they sending me gifts and Im very thankful to them for always sharing their blessings.
