I hope you all have a merry Christmas I'm very happy to receive today the Christmas gift from our town mayor. I'm jealous at other people's post in Facebook especially in Metro Manila, their mayor has a fabulous Christmas basket for their constituents or for each family. I even see from another town in our province that the Christmas basket is filled with branded items like Pringles and Spam. It is first time to happen in our town. First time to receive a plastic pail with loads of Christmas items. It has chips, cookies, pasta, spaghetti sauce, and canned meats and also rice. I hope this will become a yearly tradition starting now. There's a lot of people in the gym today and all are happy to receive their Christmas package.

Greetings for the gift and good to know that. Here, we have such a large population that such measures would be difficult to implement!! In some private companies may be, but we have Secret Santa and other things that happen. The gift must have got smile on the faces of many people !

That is true. It is quite hard that you are able to give all the people a Christmas package. It needs a lot of budget or money from the local government unit
