I Gave A Gift To My Grandma And A Simple Thanksgiving To HIVE Community

I use to be active and login on my HIVE account everyday to interact with my friends and write a blog. In the past three days, I was inactive due to low resource credits. I was on 60% resources and needed to wait for three days to make it 100%.

In this span of days, many people--or probably curators upvoted my recent blog entitled, How I Lost My Axie Team? I am happy to receive $44+ on my single blog, it is my highest upvoted blog since I signed up. Usually, I only receive cents.

I will celebrate my Christmas with a happy aura! Although, my family is not complete for this Christmas...I am glad that my virtual friends are there! Our family always goes to my grandmother’s house in Batangas to celebrate Christmas and New year. Our whole clan celebrates it together.

A lot of games, activities, singing in videoke, playing with cousins, and drinking alcohol during Christmas is the best especially if you are with your family.

Unfortunately, since the pandemic started, we cannot manage to go to Batangas to celebrate with them. You know, my family is on the middle-class side of life. We are not rich! The transportation fee is much more expensive compared to before since the vehicles are asking for almost double of the minimum wage in this time of pandemic. Also, we cannot risk our health outside the house. My mother and sister are not vaccinated yet.

So, to make my grandmother happy. I gave her a Christmas gift. The money that I spent was from my own pocket, it was my earnings from different platforms. She sent the picture of the dress that she wanted to my mother saying that she wants it, she said it jokingly.

I heard them talking (on the phone) about the dress, days passed and I asked my mother what my grandmother wants for Christmas. So she sent the picture to me and looked for the online store immediately.

I had second thoughts if I should buy the dress! You know, I was thinking that my grandmother would not like it or it doesn't fit her...but I am happy to see her reaction.

Our aunt took a video of her receiving the parcel from the online store. She was happy to receive the gift. She is thankful for what she received. You know, she took care of me when I was young and I was close to her when I was kid...until now. I always want to see her happy!
