ITS CHRISTMAS AGAIN…

Celebrating Christ, reciting Bible verses, blowing balloons, wearing new clothes and shoes was the order of the D-day when I used to be young (now am old)…..Simply, it was lots of fun, partying and merry making. Generation Y parties goes an extra mile when it comes to celebrating festive seasons. 

But is Christmas becoming an expensive burden? I talked with some of my friends over facebook over last week. Let’s get if all from our esteemed readers…

This season I will have the opportunity to be with my family, have fun with my siblings, go to church and party with my peers. I usually spent around 8000/= for my clothing, presents, traveling, which leaves me broke at the end of the festive season. This time I plan to work on my spending to ensure I got some cash as I resume school early next January.

Christmas gives me a good break from books. I spent most of my time with mom at home. I will also go to church and have a day with my friends. Being a doctor to me is like a calling and so I can’t fail to extent love to the less fortunate. I usually spent over 20,000/= most of which is channeled to the needy. To me Christmas is more than a spending and parting spree. It’s a time to show love and love.

“Christmas is day to remember birth of Christ. It comes with cerebrations, buying presents to loved ones as well as extending love to the underprivileged.  I plan to spent 5000/= over this period to offer an offering to my God, buy drinks to my friends, and also buy a present to mom, dad, shushu and girlfriend. Am exited dad has never failed to take us for some nyama choma and also slaughter a goat for us. I don’t plan to go to a new place due to financial constraints but I also plan to spend most of the time with my girlfriend.”

To me, the Christmas season has never been long enough due to the many activities I plan for. Some of the activities I’d do is visit my grandparents and spent time with them after a whole year of being away. I will also go for church camps and other youth events
Places I’d visit are beautiful sceneries like the Rift valley, visit the country side to reduce the urban boredom, go partying with friends. I will also be taking food and clothes to the less fortunate, which to me is the greatest love I can show to anybody this season. I will also make sure I buy my closest friends a Christmas gift.. It doesn’t have to b expensive, do according to your capability to avoid going too much out of your way to please them yet u remain extremely broke...


whats your game plan this season?
