The Christmas weekend inside the famous yellow house began with positive outcome. Fresh from their sold-out piggy painting auction, the sweet end of their 145 kilometer tread mill journey, and the indulging skin care session with Dra. Vicky Belo, our celebrity housemates are now looking forward on their preparation for their Christmas celebration. But for today, Big Brother ushered in yet another challenging task, and this time around, the housemates had to use their money skills.
Everyone was surprised to see gazillions of coins scattered all over the living room floor. All the housemates had no clue on where the coins came from and what their purpose were. But after a while, Kuya instructed them to collect all the coins and count them one by one to figure how much all the pennies are worth. Immediately, the housemates 
worked together in getting all the coins from the floor to the wide dining table where they counted all the money.
Although the task was not physically challenging, it required much silence and concentration so as none of them will lost count. Inspiring Christmas songs were also played on the background, and this completed the Christmas mood inside the house as all teh money that the housemates were counting seemed like "aguinaldo" for children. Meanwhile, Jon could not even believe that he would be counting that much money again since his days working in a British bank. Everyone agreed to group the coins per Php 1,000 worth so if ever Big Brother asks for the final count, they will all have an easy time counting the coins. They used all the materials available in the house, like bowls, buckets, and plastic bags, to make their job a lot easier. After putting all the counted coins in the plastic bags, they made sure that each bag is double-covered and carefully 
taped so the bag will not be pierced. Mariel also got the big plastic chest where they placed all the money bags.
After a couple of hours of counting, with their fingertips all stinking of metal, the housemates placed the Php 9,443.75 worth of coins in the chest. On Kuya's signal, they helped out in carrying the heavy chest into the confession room. But up to now, the mystery still remains on who will benefit from all these coins. Keep it here for more updates on this task.

Big Brother finally put an end to the housemates Kris Kringle last night. But before they got their respective Christmas wishes for their loved ones, they first had to identify who their babies are. But since the “parents” were busted due to their own carelessness or their babies’ “overt curiosity”, they were required to make out each of the housemates’ monito or monita. Tinsel-wrapped chairs were laid in the garden where they have to take turns in sitting their baby beside their baby’s baby until the circle is completed. And even if Mommy Yayo wasn’t around for this final challenge of their gift-giving activity, a blank seat as intended for her. Except for the one arranging their respective positions, the rest of the housemates were blindfolded to avoid cheating. 
Actually, most of them made requests for their pamangkins. For the boys, Jon asked for a doll with a complete set of its accessories, which was obviously for his niece. Baron picked a board game so he can bond with his little nephews. Will got a DVD compilation of his PBB experiences for his proud mom to show to their neighborhood. Then when it was time for Ruben’s turn, Big Brother almost forgot him, much to the housemates’ sudden burst of laughter. In the end though, he obtained a plane ticket for a family reunion. However, he later asked Big Brother if his gift was meant as a one-way ticket. Does this mean that he’s gonna provide for her mom’s return ticket? Let’s see what Kuya has to say to his dilemma tomorrow on Pinoy Big Brother Primetime Bida!
A big screen outside the famous yellow house was supposed to show the masterpieces of the celebrity housemates until all their piggy paintings are sold out within 24 hours. But there's no need to do that anymore since all of master pieces are now purchased by goodhearted individuals. At first though, Baron remained in a pressing situation for no one seems to desire his quite scruffy work. He justified its condition saying that he was a little tired when he drew it. However, he announced that he’s willing to create another one for whoever will buy it. In desperation, he even called out to Donnie, their mom and even his manager to be strong enough to open their wallets. But with the help of Riza’s kiss on his painting, Rafael Jonah of Tandang Sora Quezon City later acquired it. 
for Yayo’s sudden exit, but because April Sazon of Parañaque bought it. And she happens to be Mariel’s mom! Kuya’s bubbly houseguest was shocked to hear that her mother bided for it. But then she was glad that she did as it's for a good cause. Jon smilingly added, "Thank you mom!" much to Gaby's mirth. 
Just this morning, Big Brother told all the celebrity housemates that three Kapamilyas namely Aling Lydia, Mang Tomas, and Aling Mila express their desire to buy Peggy's little ones for Php 20,000, the proceeds of which will go to a non-profit organization. But the housemates were greatly affected by Kuya's decision and had a protest. However, they were given the chance to save their godpiglets by selling the paintings they made yesterday through an auction. They must be able to raise the Php 20k amount to save the piglets from being sold, and the money will be donated to a non-profit organization
her godpiglet Porkchop for only Php 5,000. The paintings were soon snatched up by eager followers of Mariel and Gaby which made the housemates cheer with delight. It was indeed a good sign that the cute piglets are about to have a good life.
