Good Day everyone!
I drew the cute little fella you're seeing above to greet you all a Merry Christmas! It's already afternoon of December 25th here, but we're just gonna start celebrating.
Filipinos has a tradition called a Noche Buena where the family will enjoy and celebrate Chistmas as soon as 12:00 of December 25th comes. However, we were really tired from buying gifts and preparing, the mall had too much people in it and taking public transport back home is a pain in the neck so we had to sleep and pend the celebration.
I think I slept half of this Christmas Day! Haha.
I had help from @haneun writing this message, I can draw but my handwriting sucks so bad it looks like alien writing.
So, here's the little fella animated, waving at you and greeting you a Merry Christmas. I hope you like him. I made him extra cute just for you.
Having this device is really a great blessing, it has been in my wishlist for a few years now. Sadly, I lack the finances to buy myself one. I remember making all my digital graphics and drawings using nothing but a borrowed laptop and a mouse.
Thanks to Steemit, I was able to buy a laptop that has a touch pen feature. This is @haneun's but I borrowed it to make the drawing & animation above. This just proves how Steemit can change lives, from dreams to reality. It's not just gadgets though. Most people were able to buy important things and share their blessings to others. I've seen a few who gave gifts to their family, gave to charity, and gave to those in need.
Steemit is not just a place for blogs and earnings. It's a place where change can start.

Merry Xmas dev. Our plan was to enjoy our xmas on a resort but suddenly a tragedy happened here in Davao. My brother and his girlfriend with 3 more ladies were the last people to get out from the burning NCCC mall. So we stayed at home with the whole family and prayed for the ones who were trapped on that building. My brother is a supervisor on that call center and 14 of that 37 people that was trapped were under his cluster. Unfortunately no one survived. I know this is somewhat a tragic news but prayers and certain actions were done on christmas day. Anyways I hope everyone had a great christmas. Asking for more prayers. Merry Christmas

I spend my christmas giving. We went to communities and gave some of the blessings we had in form of clothes and food. Aside from that, I also bought gifts for my relatives and gave it to them at midnight. Part of that, we also went out of town to experience adventure. It was a typical christmas celebration. I know it could hae felt better if my ster is still with us alive,

We used to have a lavish noche buena on chistmas eve few years ago. Growing up me and my siblings became conscious on our expenses. I feel so bad cause I can't chip in for our noche buena this year. Two days before Christmas eve me and my sister have a big argument. I said some hurtful words about her issues specially for being pregnant and quitting college. I even got some arguments with my mom for supporting my sister's childish acts. I got furious cause my sister thinks about buying an instax than saving for her baby or even what food should we serve on noche buena. She told me a whole roasted chicken will be enough. Before I go to bed my mom asked me to give my sister all the understanding and love that I could offer. I woke up by a call from 911 that my sister was saved from a fire in a mall where her workplace is located. I just thought that she just inhaled some smoke and nothing serious happened to her. In short we almost celebrated our christmas eve at the hospital cause my sister nearly have a miscarriage. Listening to my sister's story made me realize that some people loved her to the extent that they sacrificed their lives to save her to the extend that three or more people gaved their jackets to cover her and use all the liquid they have including coffee just to make sure she can make it. Sad to say those people who saved her didn't make it I am forever thankful to them cause they gave me another chance to make up with my
sister. She was released few hours before noche buena even I'm so tired I put all my effort to cook some spaghetti, Yes we just have some spag and a whole roasted chicken but I am happy since other people might have nothing at all. Some families are incomplete specially the families who are still hoping that their family member is still alive even announced that there is ZERO chances of survival. It might not be the happiest Christmas Eve since for two decades it was the most silent christmas neighborhood seemed to be quiet, no loud music and such. Deep in my heart I truly appreciate the true spirit of christmas it is being with your love ones lavish noche buena is just a bonus.

Hiiiii! I am also from the Philippines :)
I couldn't agree more on your description on how Filipinos like to celebrate Christmas here in PH. Oh, and the volume of people at malls during Christmas season, you know it. lol. Btw, I liked the cutie animated fella you brought here on your post :D
For me, I spent my Christmas with my relatives. We always had this tradition since I was a kid that we have this Party every christmas day every year. The whole coven was always there :D It has always been pretty fun and exciting. It was one of the events I was always looking forward throughout the year.
Unfortunately, 11 years ago those parties stopped because my aunt who always organized went to a foreign country to work.
Now she's back, we had an instant reunion! Oh how I missed those days. Everyone was happy to bring back the old days..
So that's how I spent my Christmas, I believe we Filipinos have always been compassionate with these kind of gatherings :)
It was nice sharing my Christmas story with you! Thank you for having this post :)
More prayers for you and Happy Holidays! Godspeed :)

Well seriously I spent my christmas at the hospital with my step mother who is suffering from breast cancer. I aint worried though because I know she'll be fine since her cancer is just basic and it's curable. We have had an awesome "noche buena" at PGH full family hehe. That was actually my first time spending christmas outside my crib :P

What an inspiring post, sir! You are very blessed and I wish you more blessings to come. 😊
We both share the same feeling this Christmas for I am also grateful this season. It is the time where my family & relatives reunite.
Everyone brings food at the table, brings Christmas presents & lovely goodies especially to the kids. We share joyful moments through our parlor games which is participated by all generations of our clan. Just imagine my grandma & 9 year old cousin playing Pinoy Henyo as a team. Hihi.
We share laughter and hugs to each other and it just feels home. I am deeply grateful of the presence of my loved ones and this I treasure every Christmas.
Cheers to this joyful holiday season, @deveerei! 🥂🎄
