Every year we are celebrating Christmas Day with our love ones. It is the time for loving, sharing and joy. We consider it as our longest and merriest celebration in our whole life. We decorate our home with Christmas tree, Christmas lights and parols. We prepared special food like Ham, pancit, lechon, suman, barbeque, leche pla etc. There is also abundance of soft drinks, wines and beers , which make the celebration more exciting and fun.
Christmas Evening is the most awaited evening for all of us. It is the night without a sleep and everyone drop by to greet “ Maligayang Pasko” with a kiss. Family, friends, relatives and neighbors are join together in Masses. Children are waiting for their gifts usually candies, toys and money from Santa Clause; others are singing Christmas carols in every house to receive gifts.
They said Christmas Day is for all children in the world. It’s a great time to spend with their family and love ones. But Christmas Day is not merry for these street children. They are not celebrating Christmas like any other children of well off families. They never experience opening a present under Christmas tree. 
For Street children Christmas Day is an ordinary day for them. They don’t even celebrate or enjoy it. They don’t receive anything from their parents or any relatives. Some children of rich family enjoy eating lots of Noche Buena and receiving lots of gift but street children are very different. They suffer from hunger and forced to beg food everyday for their family. Sometimes the best Noche Buena they can is a Jollibee Leftover food from throw garbage, and they share it.
That’s the reason why some street children become criminals even when they were young. Instead of family reunions, they are spending Christmas with other criminals in jail. This is one of the problems of our country right now, If the government will focus on this issue im sure they can lessen the criminals in our county.
