[Summary] => Christmas is widely regarded as a time for sharing - and a season for the children. At this time of the year, everyone seems to want to bring a smile to the face of a child. And this does not take much to do; the main thing it requires is the will to do it.

[Title] => Open letter to Santa
[Summary] =>
Dear Santa,
How are you? Hope you are not too busy delivering gifts to take time to read my letter.
First of all, please pardon me for writing to you only now. You see, I was street-smart when I was a kid so I never bought into the idea of a jolly fat man in red with a long white beard giving everyone gifts they wished for. Plus, my parents always taught us to work conscientiously for the things we desired; that that’s the only way we could truly have or achieve them.

[Title] => Hit the mall, techie
[Summary] =>
I am no mall rat. If it were at all possible I would avoid the mall. But, in this day and age, every store has a branch at the mall. Convenience.
So, when the unavoidable happens and I do find myself in a mall, I make it a point to check out the techie stuff the place has to offer, aside from the sports shops and bookstores, of course.

[Title] => Missin' Santa
[Summary] =>
Stacks of newsprints, colored onion skin paper, loads of notepads, a box of Hope ballpens, a collection of JoyToy stationery, and a Silvereed portable typewriter are my memories of Christmas.
These items helped me decide I should settle for a career in writing, and it all began one Christmas eve. That was when believing in the reality of Santa Claus is very much like believing in the Triune God.
"You better be good. Else jolly old Saint Nick won't drop by to deliver your gifts," mother warned. "And be sure to clean up your bed and brush your teeth.

[Title] => ’Tis the season to be groggy
[Summary] => If you are reading this with a little more than a hangover and some residual ringing of Jingle Bells in your ears then congratulations. I did not think that I was going to make it. With all the Jingle Balls pretzeled all over town with murderous traffic and shadows of what used to be Christmas carols, instilling the holiday spirit turned out to be a mission.
