Revelation 2010

Revelation 2010
December 17, 2010
Every year, Crystal Steel celebrates "Revelation" during the holiday season...
It starts by choosing a name of your secret partner. Your Moniro/Monita.
Then you have to give your Monito/Monita a small gift on 5 different days.
These gifts are based on a theme:
•something soft
•something sweet
•something long and hard
•something green or blue
•something round
...etc...
It can be a lot of fun to see the different ideas people come up with and it get everyone in the holiday spirit.
The identity of the giver is only known at the Revelation Day when the final gift is given to participants' Monito or Monita, usually there is an agreed amount on how much the gift will cost.
In some cases, all the participants have to post their "wish list" about what gift they want to receive so it won't be hard for the giver to decide on what to give their Monito /Monita and you will receive a gift you have been expecting.
The Philippines are known for having the longest Christmas celebration.
It is a BIG deal here...
