In the December 16, 2025 issue of the Manila Bulletin, the Amazing Grace comic strip highlights the cheerful presence of the Elf on the Shelf as a playful symbol of encouragement during the Christmas season, focusing on how every act of kindness—no matter how small—deserves recognition. Through Grace’s gentle observations and lighthearted humor, the strip shows the elf quietly “cheering on” good deeds such as helping others, sharing, and choosing compassion, reinforcing the idea that kindness multiplies when it is noticed and celebrated. The message aligns with the spirit of Advent, reminding readers that goodness is not performed for praise but that joyful affirmation can inspire people, especially children, to keep doing what is right and loving throughout the holidays.
