For
the past 3 years husband and I normally comes up with a small charity event for
neighbors in Makati but with last year’s series of events including the very
hectic Christmas month we have to discontinue. Nevertheless we organized a small
party for our house helps who deserves an appreciation for the service and
attention my family gets back from them. For me more than anyone else they
deserve the treats as we don’t make a distinction of which they are or what
they do, they are considered as part of the family. They aren’t perfect, they
commit mistakes every now and then but it’s an accepted reality that nobody is
perfect. And being the family I consider my only treasure I want to start my
little charity with them. After all, I should start making these two my favorite
quotes from now on “Charity begins at home” and “Family first before anything
else”. I’m not cooking up something big but I believe no matter how small it
may be it would help them and their family. Remember that it’s the thought that
would always count. Anyhow, we are targeting a small feat on the 24th
and I hope everything will happen as how we wanted it to be.
Another
handiwork I’d to happen is to gather all my in-laws side in one roof for a
night of catching up over a bountiful of feast that we will all share together.
I love the fact that we normally reunites with them once a year during Holy
Week but it would be more fun if we’ll have this get together during Christmas
time. I look forward to see everyone around. Now, we still have the maternal
side get-together, the E-cousins Christmas tradition (which I’m afraid may take
a hold back again), party with my Piltea family, another party with my girls at
work, I’m not complaining it’s that I’d be one busy bee as Christmas Day come
close.
By
the way, you don’t need to spell shopping to me. I’ll do it in one big day!
Merry
Christmas everyone, I’ll save Christmas Day for B!
Love,
JLau
