In my place, kids go around the villages to sing Christmas songs in exchange for money.

At home, we already have coins ready so everytime we have kids as visitors singing Christmas carols, we can give me change. I cannot count how many kids went here from the start of December til today.

Others go to their godparents to ask for Christmas gift. That's automatic here, if it's not gift items, it will be money to give. People in my cousin's place, will bring relatives with them so even the kids that are not godchildren will also receive money.

It is not wrong to give, in fact it better to give than to receive.

However, I cannot stop thinking if family intentional go together in one house so they get money from the owners.

At home, we don't get much kids because we don't have relatives here. Though they are not relatives, we already welcomed around 8-10 kids. Gave them money since that's what we already prepared.

After December 25, you see kids at the mall buying stuff from the money they collected from households.

I have not heard here kids caroling. It might be because there is heavy rain here. There is a storm and Lanao is under an Orange warning this afternoon. It is so dark here despite 4 in the afternoon, it's a dark Christmas.

This is also my first time hearing about it and I wonder how they will make money from it

Here kids form a group of 2-3 members. They go house to house to sing carol and ask for Christmas present or money. If you give the group money expect another groups will show up singing.

Festival period is time to give gifts to friends and relatives. It is time we share gifts with the less privileged. It time we experience love and be loved. If children use the period to get some money, it is not a bad thing. It is part of Christmas celebration.

I know it is not a bad thing for kids to receive money from people for the spirit of giving.

Yes, I believe I saw Yug on Mylot. But not often. I haven't been able to interact with Yug though.
I do not know that person, is he a Mylotter? This time, I have not seen carollers in my area unlike before the pandemic, there were so many hour by hour carolers and I have to prepare 100 pesos each for them to feel happy.

He is inactive on MyLot. But active on other sites, FC and BMF and here.
For carollers, if kids we give them 5 pesos, if one kid, if two or more we make it 10 pesos.

Sorry about this, but I hope it is a lot better now. You would enjoy the new year more.
