It's a better lesson for the kids. Kaso, mismong mga teachers, hilo sa bongga celebrations. Naku, sana Cherleen, all schools can adopt the “simplicity” policy. It’s a better lesson for the kids.

So, instead of the usual Christmas program, they decided to hold a regular party for the kids. We just have to bring a food for 3 and an exchange gift worth 75 pesos. Not bad na. Why food for 3? So that they can also share their food with their clasmate. Christmas is sharing, isn't it? The party was short and it was held during their regular class hours. And since 2 hours lang, most parents brought snacks -- brownies, cakes, donuts, tetra pack juices, ice cream cups, and candies. The good part was we were able to share everything to the whole class. Hindi na nga mabigat sa bulsa ang share sa pagkain, pati pang-exchange gift affordable pa. :) Well, at least maswerte naman kami at naiintindihan ng school administrators namin ang krisis ngayon.

Auee, re "it’s a waste of money dahil di naman nakakarating sulat namin sa pamilya namin dyan sa Pinas" Works both ways. Two years ago, I sent out a huge bunch of Christmas cards for online friends, some of the recipients living abroad, walang nakarating. Anna, re “unless somebody wishes for peace on earth”

Naku, I don’t think that was in anyone’s list.

From experience it's a waste of money dahil di naman nakakarating sulat namin sa pamilya namin dyan sa Pinas.
