URAY BASSIT LAENG ( Even if it is just a little one )

Christmas is a wonderful time of  the year. Christmas is a time to celebrate with family, relatives, and loved ones. Christmas is also a time to give thanks to people  we appreciate.

When I was a little boy, my mother told me that it is better to give than to receive; “Uray bassit laeng”  she quoted. When my parents migrated to United States, they strived and made sacrifices to earn a living. My parents assured  our relatives that we would remain connected. So every Christmas, they sent either a “Door to Door” box or some money.

“Uray bassit laeng.” Tomorrow is Christmas, and it is important to remember our family, loved ones, and relatives who are in the Philippines by giving something; “ Uray bassit laeng.”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
