Hello readers! How are you all doing? It's only 18 days before Christmas and I've read a lot of articles from other writers on how are they going to spend Christmas and their ideas of gift-giving. After all, Christmas is all about kindness and gift-giving.
When I was a kid, I never get to experience opening gifts on Christmas eve. We barely had food on our table on Christmas eve so gifts are not on the list. Our grandma will only give us enough money on Christmas day for us to buy something for ourselves. And we end up buying candies and chocolates. That was when we're still living in the province.
But when we move to Manila, our lives changed gradually. We can now afford to have a festive dish on our table on Christmas eve but still no gift-giving. Maybe because grandma was so busy with other things. She would just give us money and let us decide what gift we would like for Christmas.
The best gift that I received on Christmas day was when I was 10 years old. Our Aunt takes us to the movie house. It was my first time watching a movie inside a cinema. And man, I was so happy and excited that I stumbled down two lanes from the top because I wanted to seat in front, hahaha! The movie that we watched was "Huwag mong buhayin ang bangkay." It was a horror movie here in the Philippines. It was so memorable that we always had a good laugh when we talked about it.
Moving on with @CoquiCoin 's #ThePerfectGiftChallenge2021, I will choose some of my virtual friends here on read.cash who are the closest to my heart. It's an honor to be their Santa Claus this Christmas. These people have been with me for almost a year of being a writer on this platform and this is my way of thanking them for all the support they have showered upon me.
Sunscreen for @Jeaneth
Hi madam! I remember one of your posts about purchasing a sunscreen on Shoppee. And as we talked about it in the comment section, you said that you need these because when you go out to do some errands, you don't usually use an umbrella or cap to protect yourself from the heat of the sun. So this is a perfect gift for you madam. 10 bottles of these! Hope you'll like it madam.
Angel's footlong for @Ruffa
Hi Rupingping, hahaha! Since you liked this food very much, this is my gift for you! One year supply of Angel's footlong. You don't have to think of a snack every afternoon madam because this will be delivered in your frontdoor with the blue-eyed delivery guy*wink wink. I know you will love that, not the food but the delivery guy, hahaha!
A cute dog for @bmjc98
Hello sis! As a furmom like you, I know what it felt like when you lose Kiara. It really breaks our heart losing them. So this Christmas, I am giving you this cutie hoping that it will help to ease the pain of losing Kiara. Hope you will like it sis!
3 days vacation in Maldives for @jane
Hey Jane, I know you need a breather and badly need a vacation. And like what you write in your article, your dream vacation would be on the beach. So for this Christmas, I am giving you a 3 days vacation in Maldives! This is a perfect gift for you. You can go snorkling or sunbathe and feel the sea breeze on your skin while sipping a glass of champagne wearing your best bikini, lol! Did I exaggerate? Hoping that you will like it Jane.
Workout equipment for @Eybyoung
Hi sis! Since you love to do some workout even though you're already sexy in every sense of the word, this is a perfect gift for you. I know that your not doing it to be more fit but you're doing it because you want to be healthy. So I hope you'll enjoy this gift sis!
Winter outfits for @tired_momma
Hello momshie! I know that you can't stand the cold in this winter season so I meticulously chose these winter outfit just for you! You can use it at work or going out with the family. You will certainly look gorgeous on these outfits momshie. Hope you will like it!
Medical expenses for @Yen
Hi Yen! I chose to give you this gift because of your health condition right now. Hoping for your fast recovery Yen!
Good health and wellbeing for @CoquiCoin
And to the host of this prompt, advance happy birthday Ma'am. I don't know anything about you yet because this is my first time seeing you in this platform. So I guess the perfect gift for you is to wish you a good health. To be always healthy. Have a memorable birthday Ma'am!
Just a reminder guys, this is just a virtual gift. Don't knock on my door on Christmas day for these gifts hahaha! I just want to be your Santa Claus in this virtual world. So enjoy your gifts!

Closing Thought
If there is one thing that I would like to have this Christmas, that would be a new phone. The phone that I am using has become very grumpy if I may compare it to a human. To a blogger/writer in this platform, a perfectly working phone is essential. So I hope Santa could read this.
To the names mentioned above, thank you so much guys for everything. If only I am a millionaire, I would definitely give you those gifts. I love you all guys!
