There are only nine days before Christmas, and everyone is busy shopping, preparing for dinner for the holidays, and decorating their houses. Buying gifts for your loved ones is always hard, because you wonder if they're going to like your present or not.
During this season, I can't help but miss my home in the Philippines, and I remember my school days during Christmas. We sometimes did gift exchanges called "monito-monita" (which is similar to "Secret Santa" in American culture), and it's very simple to do. Kids would randomly select a name of whom they will give a gift to, but not tell the person receiving the gift. It's more exciting and fun. Also, the teacher set a maximum price for the gifts, so that it would be fair for everyone.
Since I'm always busy at work, I usually prefer to just give a gift card or some money as my gift. It's so that my loved ones can just buy whatever they want, and it's easy and practical. For me, though, instead of just putting some money or a gift card inside an envelope, I made this gift card sleigh to make it more creative and fun. There are many ways to let your loved ones feel appreciated this holiday, but you can just do a little planning and include some creativity. Your gift doesn't need to be expensive. Just remember that it's always the thought that counts, not the amount.
I hope that everyone has a happy holiday. Feliz Navidad, everyone!
