With 175 comments, the answers that outpoured were so inspiring that it opened and sustained the spirit of Christmas for me.  Thank you to everyone who joined Windward Ventures’ Grab a Bottled Up Umbrella Contest.  Your answers really do make Christmas special for each of you –reading them allowed me to virtually share your “special” 2009 Christmas.  I wish I had more than 100 umbrellas to give away because most of you deserve it… but I only have 3.

 

Quite a handful of favorite answers but the best answer that was picked:

 

“Yesterday, I bought some books here in our office building and I was surprised to find activity books worth P5 each. And then last week, I bought plush toys for P10 each. I really bought a lot of those things and thinking of donating it to SM’s share a toy or Jollibee’s MaAga ang Pasko. I’m also considering to just walk on the streets on Baclaran on the 24th to give the toys and books to the less fortunate kids that I will meet on the streets. I might tag along my friends, too. Do you think this will make my Christams extra special? YES!!! ”               ~Ann of funhuntress.blogspot.com

 

This was the most relatable entry to me and friends because we spent yesterday afternoon at the Virlanie Foundation giving a Christmas party to less-privileged/street kids being housed by the foundation.
