There is one wish that I would like to be granted this Christmas, that is having a permanent and full – time job. If I have one I can help pay the bills. In case my curious friends, family, and godmother stumble here in my blog and wanted to wrap presents for me. I’d say a DSLR Canon, pair of shoes, Bohemian inspired dress, a new phone, and adult coloring book with colored pencils.
In return I am digging these gift ideas that I found on Pinterest. As you can see these are DIY gift ideas. I am going to gather all the art and craft materials that I have and see what I can use. I am taking this gift giving to the next level.
For
my family. That would be my presence. Every Christmas my father’s side of
family organized a reunion. My responsibilities changes from doing small
errands for the party and taking photos during the said event. If I have money,
I definitely know what to buy for them. Let’s see. My father would love to
receive a new set of CCTV camera (he wants to catch the thieves responsible for
all our lost household items.) My mother would love a bus ticket to Samar to
see my grandparents. My brother would love to have a lunch out with the whole
family.
For
my friends. DIY Christmas cards, scrapbook, and recycled books.
For
my godchildren. I am filling up mason jars with candies plus some coloring
books and crayons.
Let us not forget that the true spirit
of Christmas is giving back to those that are in absolute need. Specially the little ones
that have been neglected in the simplest pleasure of being a child like having
decent meals and toys.
“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” ― Mother TeresaWhat (you and) I can do:
1.
Volunteer
in different NGO or in your local community. I have been a volunteer for
Cornerstone for almost one year. I’ve witnessed how the kids react when we
celebrated Christmas party. They smiled with content as if they never received
a present before. I’d like to experience that again this Christmas.
2.
Donate
a book. There is always a need for books. In one of my visit in our town’s
library the librarian mentioned that they are open for book donations. They
said that they are accepting any kind of book. I will contact them later to
know where the possible drop off is.
3. Donate
a teddy bear. For only Php 200.00 (you and) I can keep one bear and donate the
other to various orphanages and charitable institutions through the SM Cares
program.
