#8 The Joy of Giving

“9 Things I Love About Christmas”

“Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.”
-Jim Rohn

Today I’m telling you about the joy of giving. It’s another thing I love about Christmas because it’s really heartwarming everytime you know that you make someone happy by giving them gifts without asking something in return.

Aside from attending Simbang Gabi, it’s also become a tradition to us to pledge to give something for the kids in our church every year. At the beginning of Simbang Gabi, the people in our church put up a simple Christmas Tree where they hang pledges and here, people can choose what they want to pledge to give. These pledges are for the less fortunate kids and we really hope that these gifts we will be giving on Christmas Eve will somehow make them happy! :D

My sister and I chose these pledges (a new shirt and a new bag) and we’re really excited to give these to the kids!!
