This is a descriptive study on the attributions, expectations and views of child street vendors on Christmas. 21 Participants were gathered through the purposive sampling technique. The respondents were children from the ages of 6-14 years and have been working for at least two years in the Malate area. Data was gathered through the use of a gabay sa pakikipagkwentuhan. The expectations were divided into material, family, personal practices and emotional expectations. The views were categorized based on feelings and on past experiences. Lastly, attributions were categorized into either situational or dispositional. The categorized data were then analyzed through their content. The researchers used Kelley's Covariation Principle in the discussion of the participants' attributions towards their expectations and views towards Christmas.
