I'm very sure it happens all across the world, we all get the urge to want a lot of things especially as the year is coming to a close, presiding with Christmas. Of course not everyone has enough to enjoy the day, many factors as to why some people would be broke for Christmas and why others would be rich, it doesn't just start now, it's been the Preparation for a long time now. So don't beat yourself up, no matter how you are and what you've got try to enjoy yourself without feeling down or depressed, after 24 hours comes another day, like yeah we still got time, yes we are still living.
Take your eyes off the neighbors also, more pressure comes from there. It's a season of love, not a season of comparism, comparing opens to the heart to covetousness, we begin to see what makes the heart ponder, how did they get this, how could they afford that, maybe they borrowed the money, oh maybe its illegal, I'll call the cops, I'll investigate, lol, but we sure get jealous when we compare, even in times when we have more compared to them we still would get jealous cause of those little other things they could afford. Remember is a season of love, not of comparism, so ease the tension.
Catch enough fun as you can, it's the holidays, go out with friends, go for the laughs, enjoy your time, do what gets you excited. It's a time to relax, you've worked so hard throughout the years, it wouldn't be a bad idea to relax those nerves and be lazy for a while. Spend on quality time, as long as you not spending out of planned budget, even our Christmas outings should be in our planned budget too, cause truly it is very important. Enjoy with families, order those pizzas, buy the Christmas trees, decorate it, buy those Christmas gifts, go see the movies, put a smile on those special persons around you, could be your kids, spouse, friends, etc. Just make someone happy y'all.
When you feel pressured with the happenings around you, then just wait a moment and say NOT NECESSARY. Our lord jesus whom we celebrate on Christmas, had never intended us to go all out of our way to spend more than we can afford. He himself was a preacher of wisdom and planning, yes the passover feast, but remember they broke bread, and drank wine, how many of us break bread today, I guess not, its rice, and those special delicacies. So let's try to remember that the day would come and go surely, then all this feelings would be gone alongside with it, as reality sets in. What then do we do guys.
Maybe spending time with family wouldn't be a bad idea in helping to ease down the pressures. Like I always say family first, it never gets outdated to put family first, as it has proven times without number that they are less likely to disappoint even when others do. So this season of love and the new year excitement, we must draw family close and enjoy it together. Oh not saying friends aren't allowed, I too would be spending time with friends, you know friends have a different energy that can create events to get the heart pumping fast, that adventure, that rush, I need them this Christmas too.
Just a week to create memories, from the 25th of December to the 2nd of January 2022, what memories are you planning on creating, still bear in mind to ease the pressure, don't do things out of your capacity, and don't be too stingy either to do things you can afford. If we don't catch fun now when we are all free when next, moreover we all rarely come together like this, this is a time we get to see more people together in a close space, as we are all returned home from our respective places of work. So we not doing more than we can, so we don't face the brunt after, rather we would catch the fun still but within our capacity.
Merry Christmas in advance guys, I'm already so excited, I'm super thrilled to eat all the food I can lay my hands on, I'm super thrilled to see all my incredible friends as we abuse one another and do what we want to do without any permission, well without breaking the law too, maybe break a few laws though. So excited that everyone would be home again, we all thanking and praising God for yet another awesome holidays he has made us see. The beautiful voices of our music of worship as we all sing together, come on there are more to be exciting about, more than being tensed about. However we can do it we would, but more importantly we must stay happy.
Yea yea, it'll come and go, its just a day, it's just 2 days, I don't really care if it's one hour, I'll make memories, thank God guys, God himself made all this possible and be rest assured he also would make this Christmas and New Year the best you have ever experienced yet. He can make it happen, so we stay contented with what we have now and be happy, but praying too so he would make provisions available for us to have a mind blowing holiday.
