Christmas is finally here and everyone is happy. I spoke with a few people and I saw the joy through their voice, scrolling through the social media. Everybody was writing something sweet about the month and the season which shows how happy and excited they are.
While in church yesterday I saw people were showing their joy and excitement through the way they were dancing and jubilating.
The joy matters a lot because if we should reflect on the journey from January through November we can tell it wasn't really easy.
It's important to rejoice but while doing that it is important to know that Christmas is a season that will elapse just as every other season, just like holidays, there do come and go so while planning on things to do have this at the back of your mind.
Life continues after Christmas and that life is very important, I have my plans on how I want to celebrate this Christmas this doesn't make me want to do more than I'm supposed to, infact before now I it's been long drafted out my budget for this Christmas and that's what I'm going to spend, make I no go too do oo
However it's a matter of discipline I so much love my self because I'm not a type that show off just to get some folks impressed. As much as I want to chill and have a good time this Christmas I have exceptions to it.
These are the things I don't want to get involved in to avoid running out of money after Christmas.
I was able to draft out locations and places I will be visiting, why did I do this? Yes I made a portable list of places I will be seeing to avoid going to a location or going on an outing that's not even necessary to avoid unforeseen spending because there is no way I can go out on a show or to have fun without spending.
Just yesterday I was just thinking about what I'm going to purchase this Christmas for myself, so I was reflecting on the things I need and not what I want. Remember we can't satisfy our wants, so I have already settled on the things to buy. This helps me curtail excessive spending considering the cost of things and the economy generally.
I promise myself to stay out of any form of competition, guys this Christmas you will see people want to challenge but I tell you stay out of any challenge.
I remember when me and my friends had to compete on who has more money in school when we called a yoghurt seller, we bought yoghurt that we couldn't finish and the challenge ended badly because we exhausted all the money that was supposed to carry us throughout the week. So what I'm saying is avoid trying to prove a point no matter where you go this Christmas.
In all we should endeavor to set timelines for everything we need to do not for anything but for guidance.
Spend wisely this season
