It is now official that we've entered the festive week; you might be wondering what's on my mind right now: "Well, wonder no more" because I'm gonna say it out loud, and here it comes.
I can remember how the year started with us screaming and rejoicing when we entered the new year, I can remember hugging every member of my family and calling those who weren't present with me at the moment, I can remember kneeling and feeling grateful for the new year, I can remember tears rolling down my eyes because I made it alive and here we are again, these memories made it felt like the year just started yesterday and it's almost running out.
Often when I'm having a conversation with people, I tend to ask a particular question, and that is, "Do you know this year ran very fast?" Some in my category would be like, "Yeah, the year ran very fast," while those who aren't in my league would be like, "Hmm, it was normal for me." That is the different reaction I get from people.
I can't believe Christmas is just in a few days "The unbelieve is making me excited" It is that time of the year when we get to take a break from work and spend quality time with family, sharing good meals, I love the festive season, growing up I've always been a big fan of it. You would see me making my hair, and after a while, Mum would take me to a shop to get my clothes and shoes; it was that easy. I miss those times when Mum was the one faced with the responsibility of planning Christmas for me and my siblings.
Christmas was something I loved growing up because I got to spend it around my family without any member of the family being absent but ever since mum passed Christmas has been different, I don't feel the urge to do anything special except for my siblings who would want us to spend quality time together even with the absence of mum. They say, "Mum shouldn't be the reason we stop spending Christmas together," and I kind of agree with them, but then it isn't easy, sitting on that round table and mum's seat is always vacant.
So my plans for Christmas start with me traveling home to spend some time with my siblings. I haven't seen them since the year started and I've missed them so much. I wish I could see them always, but unfortunately, I can't because of the distance, and I'm glad I get to spend every Christmas with them to create more memories and get to know each other more.
I have no other plans; maybe when I get home, my siblings might surprise me with some incredible Christmas plans, but I'm stuck with just one plan.
Before I forget, when it comes to my financial plans I'm prepared already. I've set my budget for Christmas, and I'm not going against that budget; I know I'm gonna be faced with certain temptations in going out of my budget, but I don't think I would go against my budget,t "so help me savior." I feel like every plan is accompanied by finances.
Thanks for reading 🧡
