not the same
Christmas was different this year. It was not as lively and cheerful as the previous years have been. No fireworks, not much houses have decorations/christmas lights around their houses. Even the malls have very minimal decorations this year. Even if you say that those are only superficial things, they do contribute a great deal to bring the "Christmas Spirit" here in the country.
Even the way my family celebrated the day this year was different. Not much change on the Father's side of the Family though. We eat lunch together, give each other gifts (not wrapped up gifts, but money) and then we're off. In my mother's side of the family it was quite dull too. The background music that was playing was enough to put me to sleep, and it was plain *boring* this year, even if Ate Sarah and Kuya Jun were there.
My mom said that since we're hosting the New Year dinner, the event should not be boring. She even made me and my sister prepare a program, and she's really gonna buy that Magic Sing Karaoke microphone. [Heck, she wanted to buy it since before, but my dad didn't like it then. But now he has no choice since my mom INSISTED on it].
I was surprised that my sister got me a gift this year (normally, I'm the only one who gives her a gift every Christmas). It was a journal made from Abaca fibers, she bought it from Grassroots. Out of all the journal notebooks I got before, this was the only thing I liked a lot that I started writing on it before I went to sleep early Christmas morning. (after the Noche Buena)

Hi,
I am doing research for e-books on original gift ideas. That is how I ran into your blog not the same. Do you have any brilliant suggestion for a Christmas gift for a kid by any chance? I already have several books done and posted at http://www.100mostoriginalgiftideas.com but I am looking to upgrade some of the ideas for Christmas gifts. Thanks.

Hi Blogger,
I am a writer and I research gift ideas for e-books on original gift ideas for Christmas and other events like Valentine's, Easter etc. I also organize gift ideas per receiver, like for babies, for kids, for teens, for grandparents, for dog lovers, for him, for her, etc Or I organize them by category like romantic gifts and inexpensive gifts. In my research I also go through blogs that mention gifts and gift ideas or events like Christmas. That is how I came upon your blog not the same. I would appreciate if you would share just one successful gift idea with me, for instance a Christmas gift for a kid. I hope that my question doesn't annoy you. And I apologize if it does. I thought if I'd just ask enough people I'd wind up with plenty of good ideas to share with others again. That is what networking is all about, right? Or let's call it the spirit of Christmas. Let me know if I can do something for you. You can find my free e-books with gift ideas here: http://www.100mostoriginalgiftideas.com. God bless.
