Dear Santa Claus,
Gusto ko po sa pasko ng baby doll na tumatawa, saka po si yanyan. Kay kohbe po ay kotse.
Love,
Tamarra
Then, she asked how would the letter be received by Santa. That time, daddy was leaving for work. So intentionally, i let tamtam hear me talking to her dad. I told daddy to mail the letter to Santa Claus. A week after, I was off to the mall and looked for those toys she mentioned. It cost me less than a thousand. I was so glad my children were content with simple gifts like those. Until the next Christmas came...
Tamarra, Alyanna, and Kohbe, all a year older, had their Christmas wishes again. I was so eager to listen to them. Tamarra wished we'd buy her a guitar. I was surprised because I never realized she'd want to play an instrument. She was into dancing. Another thing, I know the guitar is worth more than a thousand. Kohbe asked for a bike, which again was expensive, (at least for us who earns just enough for our needs). But I know in my heart, I would really buy those gifts they wanted for Christmas. Then, there was Alyanna who had not yet told what she wanted. I was ready to hear her mention another expensive toy till she said, "Mommy, gusto ko lutu-lutuan". She made daddy and I laugh.
Well, we weren't able to buy the things in their wish list in time for Christmas. But we bought them a few weeks ago. Though I was hesitant at first for I was thinking of the bills that were needed to be paid, I still went to buy their gifts. No amount of money can buy the happiness I feel when my angels are happy.
