Three days to go and it's Christmas time. Do you have lots of inaanak (Godchildren)? They will surely come to your home this Christmas. How many of them do you got? What do you usually give with them? Is it toys and dresses wrapped in Christmas wrappers? Or cash to buy what they wanted to have this Christmas? Happy gifts giving.. Merry Christmas everyone..

I have around 6 inaanak, 1 boy and 5 girls hehehehe.. 5 kids are my friend's child and the 1 boy is my grade school teacher's son. We supposed to have this teacher-student relationship before, but know we are already "Kumare" :)

I already have 22 Godchildren. But, I only expect around 6 or 7 of them who will come and visit my house on Christmas day. Most of my Godchildren stays far and they really haven't visited me at home. Although, I send them gifts personally or through their parents and friends. I give toys, clothes and cash. Except for the money, I wrap them all personally and I really love doing that because it is my personal touch to the gift. Merry Christmas to you as well!

I have 5. I bought a dress for my eldest and the rest, I'll probably give them money so they can buy what they want. it's really hard when you have too many inaanaks, specially now that there's financial crisis but I guess whatever I'll give them, they'd appreciate it, especially 'cause their kids, simple things already makes them happy. Happy holidays!

hmmm, I have 6 god children 4 boys and 2 girls. They range from teenager down to infant so I have different kinds of gifts but for now only 3 of my godchildren have gifts from hehe because the other 3 are living far. Only one will come to my hoe this Christmas, the other one I will him in Chursh and the other one during a Christmas reunion. I haven't finished wrapping the gifts. Have a nice Christmas everyone.

inaanak - one of my inaanak, Peachy Anne
This is a great discussion for me! I was actually thinking to have a discussion like this because it's being in season and i really dig it. LOL! I think i will beat everybody here. I have 26 godchildren! Yes! 26! and i don't know if i have forgotten someone from my list lol! My first inaanak is now in college, i was only 12 yrs old when he was baptized. They are my childhood friends, neighbors, my sister's friends, officemates and relatives' sons and daughters. Whew!! Would you believe that my latest godchild was baptized this last Sunday? Geez, the mother of the child just told me about it 1 day before the Christening day! Very timely ha?! LOL! But it's okay, like the oldies saying, it's bad luck to say no if you have been chosen to be a ninang or ninong. And someone told me before, "lagi kang nakukuhang ninang kasi magaling kang makisama" Since their age varies from college to infants, i prefer giving them money and gifts. It always excites me wrapping christmas gifts.
