Steemit Philippines Community Mini Contest - "Christmas Giving: What Do You Want to Receive or Give This Christmas Season?" (12-19-2021)

It is better to give than to receive and one of the the essence of Christmas is giving since the world gave us Jesus. When He was born, it was the beginning of the day he gave his life to the people. That's the reason why people have the minset for giving to everyone. There is no wrong to receive because the givers have the right to get returned to their act of kindness and generosity.

What gift I want for Christmas?

Because I am living away from home,my family are not giving me gift. Wishes from messages and video calling are the major gift I received for a long time ago. I didn't celebrate Christmas though. Nobody give me gift. How I wish to receive a box of gift? There is no need to be expensive. How I wish to feel the happiness once again before I die, to have a gift like what I had before when I was a child making exchanging gifts with my classmate. I want to feel it again. It is so sad reality that nobody cares sending me a gift. Even my family dooes not realize it. I understand the fact that sending gift from Philippines to Saudi cost a lot of charges. To be honest, how I wish to receive a gift even before during Christmas and likewise, today how I wish to recieve a cheapest kind of gift from a box like what I had before.

If talking about love, I know they love me and hopefully they love me truly not because of what I gave but for I am in common. I should be so grateful if they love me for being what I am, as a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and a friend.

What I want to give as gift during this Christmas?

I am not a kind of person who buy gifts for Christmas. I gave it in form of money so they can choose what they want for their life. The nearest family I have is my son and grandchildren. I do not give them anything but I sent money for Christmas . Then I gave to the who love my family and take care of my sister, driving from home to the mountain to her jobsite.

Screenshot from someone I gave 1k for Christmas. I gave him for taking care for my sister. That is his message today.

Story behind my gift to Giovanie

Giovanie is a working student of my sister in the mountain. He is an indigenous man but now studying in college by the support of my sister. He take good care of my sister and he loves my son and grandchildren. That is why , I gave him. 1 k is just a small amount but how he appreciatedy act of kindness is more than a recognition.

Giovannie always sent me a picture of him together with my grandchildren.

For my family too

The same way for my father, siblings, niece,nephews and nearest cousins, it is all form of money only for a long time.

Being away for a long time, I forgot what is the feeling of happiness during Christmas most especially that mont of December is not really in favor of me. There was so many thing happened before and this time, I am so sad for the only me know the reason. But don't worry, those who read this post to the end, it happened many times in my life to feel the heartbroken within me but I survived. I fought the feeling of being alone and lonely. It is the tears, I must cry to eased the pain thinking of all my longing in life. Please, don't dare to justify me of Judge me of what I have been through. The only thing I knew even before that I survived every time I lost my everything in my life. Life for me is a game. I am not bad person but life is so tough to understand. I am serious but it turned out into a game, no specific ends and what I am doing how to survive? is to fight and pretend to be happy and I put everything to God and I will be alright.
