The 3 E's this holiday
There's only fifteen days to go before christmas eve. How's your budget, I mean your wallet? Are you ready for the holiday? If you asked me guys, not yet. I still have to wait for some blessing that may come to us this coming week.
Yesterday, we have attended a christmas party with my husband, a lot of couple have joined the party. Men have their sports games after lunch while the wives are cheerleaders. Party contains lot of foods and gifts. We also received a noche buena package, which is a macaroni salad ingredients. Were glad to have it for free, because it cost a lot, maybe $4 which is hard to earn nowadays.
So, here is my main topic for today about the 3 E's of holiday.
Enjoyable
As I've seen the people yesterday, its really enjoyable, where the people are smiling, and having a conversation with the party. We meet some of our old friends from different places, and have new set of couple friends too, that we knew for the first time.
This holiday season I guess, deserved to be enjoyed by us, because it only passes by once a year. Even how simple the food in the table, the main part is to meeting our families and having time together. Its the only time of the year where some of our relatives will be going home to be with us this holiday. So, all we can do is to enjoy and prepare a beautiful smile.
Explosive
Even if it's not yet the date, but we already heard lots of fireworks around us, especially in the afternoon. And I saw some kids who brought with them a fireworks, made of can, and they put something inside and it sounds like a gun. Its dangerous I think, not preferable for a very young age, because it may cause them burn and fire.
Having fireworks also seems like a tradition of everyone, not only by filipinos, but also in other countries. That's what we are waiting for every midnight of christmas eve and new year because one of our neighbor will prepare a fireworks, and my kids will run outside the house to see it.
Expensive
Lastly, will you agree? That this holiday will be expensive. We need to spend money for buying gifts and foods for the parties. For example, my two kids christmas party will be next week. So, they were asking me money to buy their gifts, and also for their foods.
Not only that, there will be another two parties that we will attending to next week. That's why my wallet seems to be drained after this season😅. But, its okay, we just need to budget everything that we need to, so that we won't be suffering from hunger after the holidays.

Thank you.
I enjoyed reading your 3 E's of the holidays. They all tie into each other. Enjoyment being the end goal, explosive being an event of tradition, and of course expensive to be able to share and give :)
