Here in the Philippines godchildren go to their godparents (during baptism) house to asked for their Christmas gifts or aginaldo. My eldest sister she had I think 30 godchildren and she needs to have a budget every Christmas to give them gifts. Me I only have two so I don't worry a lot thinking of money for the gifts.

@averygirl72 I will keep that to my self since I am a non practicing person now. I dont give effort with religion because I am going to burn in hell anyway. I can;t live with God's standards. You know entertainment is considered a sin. What god wanted is for us to pray all day long.

@CaptAlbertWhisker That sounds heavy to me. Hell is terrible. It's easy to follow God. I am less religious now what is important is I pray once in a while

I have a couple but I don't get to see most of them. Although, I reach out to their parents to give them their gifts.

I haven't heard of this custom before. That is a lot of godchildren that your sister has to buy for.

@averygirl72 I think she is really a kind-hearted person. I will do the same thing if my godchildren are here in my city.
