They met Santa Claus in the flesh on the last day of Simbang Gabi. After the mass, there were carols sung and then Santa came! The kids went wild because he had with him tons of boxes like the ones used by long distance movers that had lots of little presents and candies. They even gave away paper money for the youth and young “once”.

My son immediately recognized who it was while as expected, my daughter was scared as hell. It was good that my sisters were already there (they came from Manila to spend Christmas in Amadeo) or else I would not have these pictures:

As you can see, Martha was deathly scared:

But she was able to conquer her fear (aka forced):

And who was Santa?

No less than Lolo! Matthew knew it right away. Martha never had any inclination it was her Lolo. She even talked to him after taking this picture, telling “Santa” she wanted a dog that was “small like this” and color “brown”.
