Steemit Philippines: Major Contest of the Week 11-30-2020| My Simple Christmas Preparations
20% payout goes to @steemitphcurator
Christmas would be one of the most celebrated holiday all over the world. For most, a period of magic, mistletoe and cheer; of quality family time, festivities and feasting. It would be considered the happiest season. Philippines has the longest preparation for christmas. When "Ber" months begin so as the decorations for christmas starts to be displayed in malls. And prepare to take out all the decorations.
Honestly Christmas for me isn't that special, as I was growing I never had a special christmas. But having a family of my own made christmas extra special, not just because we are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ but also giving thanks for giving my family a good year.
One of my preparation would be the putting up of the christmas tree. I simply recycled some of my christmas decorations and just added some more. I remember back when I was a kid we had that white christmas tree, though there were no gifts under it I still love looking at it having a lot of decorations and christmas lights.
Second on my list was the buying of gifts. This is my favorite part. I love buying gifts and wrapping them. I believe that under that gift is a surprise that gives a special smile to the person who receives it. May it be expensive or not I always buy something to people I love. I remember spending all of my christmas bonus for giving gifts.
I was happy to see my nephew, niece, cousins and children smile. Specially when my son yells for joy whenever he sees his present. He is always the most appreciative person I know.
Last thing to prepare would be the food. Buying on a christmas season is always a struggle. Groceries are always packed and has long lines. So as much as possible I buy some necessities fot christmas long before the season starts. So when its almost Christmas I will only worry about the things I forgot.
Celebrating Christmas isn't about the preparations, gifts and the amount you've spent. But it is the people you are with. Christmas is made for family, just simply being able to be with the most important person in your life is enough. Specially at this time where a lot of us cannot afford to spend for christmas , let us be thankful of what is given to us.
I am inviting @abby0207 @kyrie1234 and @georgie84 to share their preparations too.
I like the wrapping and giving of gifts part. Hahaha. The saying Christmas is for children young and old is so true! We got so excited when we received gifts and also when we give. :)
But as what you said, it is the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the greatest gift mankind (for us Christians) has received.
True, gifts excites a lot of us even the adults..whehehe
Your Christmas tree is beautiful, and it is loaded with gifts.Christmas is truly a season of joy, love, hope, gratefulness, and family. Giving gifts, whether expensive or not, as long as it's from the heart will always give joy to the receiver. And the giver will have the feeling of satisfaction whenever the gifts are much appreciated. Regardless of the age, we all love to receive gifts. Hehe But it's more exciting to be the giver talaga, like you have to think what gift you want to give for your loved ones.
Also, the food. I think Christmas is one of the seasons that we are required to gain weight. 😅
Thank you, though I am not expert at decorating but I am happy to hear that . whehhe christmas season is always the time to eat a lot..
