With all these little Santas around the house who wouldn't be inspired to become Santa this Christmas? Who says you need to have a belly and a beard to become Santa?
Christmas day I woke up at 5am, ready to bring out the Santa in me. I spent the day with the less fortunate kids in Samal Island. I took part in a feeding program to help feed 200 kids. We chose Jollibee to cater for our event. The kids had fun, there were games and prizes and giveaways. It was so humbling to take part in such a program. It makes me sad to think that not all kids will have a truly very Merry Christmas, that not all kids have something to eat even on such a special time of the year.
The kids live in this area. It doesn't look very safe. =(
children waiting in line to be fed. Some kids pushed and shoved, in fear that the food might run out and they might not get anything.
Loot bags for the kids.
We ran out of loot bags, this little kiddo was not a happy camper. =(
I've realized another thing, who says Santa only comes around on Christmas day? I think we can all be a Mr or a Mrs. Claus all throughout the year. Have a truly very Merry Christmas!
