Haha! It wasn't the surprise yell I got for this whole month of December. December is the season which we can receive and give gifts for anyone. I felt it that way because I was able to received gifts from the people I love. And gave some for them as well. :)
Kris Kringle with friends is so much fun ... and very touching. :D
Every once in a week became a kris kringle day with my Deverj friends. We started it last December 4 and ended up at December 23. That was my idea and thank God they agreed. We always draw names for another theme for us to be able to challenge ourselves if we really knew that person. There should always be a message and it should be presentably wrapped. Then explained it after why we chose that gift for him/her and explained again the effort we put on it as we bought it. Effort Much! Haha!
For December 4.Something Star! - A pink star headband.
I got this from
Peng and I gave a star pin and a kitty keychain for
Zel. :)
"She knows that I love wearing headbands!"
For December 10.Something Green! - A very kikay green ballpen and a furry keychain.
I got this from
Jim and I gave a glow in the dark wall designs, green ballpen and green candleholder for
Ochie.
"This was funny because I'm with Ochie as I bought those gifts. She had no idea it was for her. Of course she already knew what's inside the wrapper as I gave it to her. lol."
For December 15.Something that starts with a letter of our name or nicknames! - Cologne and Candy.
I got this from
Dhei and I gave a letter necklace for
Aubrey.
"I can't think of anything that makes sense in Aubrey's name. Chos! I was expecting the whole day that Dhei's gift was for me. I knew it that it was a cologne or perfume. Good guess!"
For December 23. The Last! :cSomething that represents that person! - Headband.
I got this again from
Dhei and I gave a personalized cd burn with all of our favorite songs and a key&locket keychain for
Zel.
"I gave songs to Zel because she's a good listener. For the key&locket keychain, she's a person that you should get to know better before knowing the real her. Just like a key and a locket, you should open first before to know what is inside. :) ""Apparently, I wasn't able to get a representation of myself in that headband so I'm a bit unsatisfied but I loved it so much. Much better if she put words into it. :)"
That was all the gifts I had received on our Kris Kringle. Thanks guys. These are all much appreciated. :)
But wait. There's more! :))
1. Toblerone from my
BFF Ochie. :)
2. A green sparkling headband and another Toblerone from
Joy. :)
3. A green pouch from
Erwin - which I didn't expect at all. :)
4. And a gift
for myself but the money that I used came from
Papa. Haha. New Havs! <3
5. My favorite cartoon character - Patrick Star from
Lenie. :)
Since we don't celebrate christmas at all, I would like to consider it as New Year Presents.
Thank you so much. It wasn't expensive and very simple, but these made my year complete. These are all much appreciated. Swear.
You're all awesome! ♥
I just loved Surprises! From littlest to biggest things. Hand-made or even ready-made. :)
Just like my songs, I always put them in a shuffle mode because I don't want to know what will be next. It wasn't thrilling at all, right?
