We only stayed about a half hour or so. They all hugged us and told us “salamat po” and took our hand and touch the back of it with their forehead – which is a significant gesture of respect and gratitude (plus it allows some of our “wisdom” to flow into them).‘T’was a great Christmas.

Wow. Sounds like one of the best Christmas parties ever. How fun. They look so happy. What a great idea! I love all the pictures!
What a memorable Christmas! They do all look excited to see you.
Yeah!!! Dad taught them the Eskimo song - LOVE it! Brings back many memories....You'll have to teach us the Shark Attack song when you get back.
Mom, what's the title of the story you read? I don't think I've ever heard that one.
You two are the best ever!!!!
This is so great! I love that you got to do this, and those kids look thrilled. Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas!
