Fun without Traveling this Christmas

It’s the season where you get to spend money without regret(initially) till January hits you and you wonder why you had to go and do that😊. Well if you do not have the opportunity of traveling during this period there are still some pretty fun things to do like going to the beach with friends, go kart racing, a visit to an amusement park, going on a cruise where you get to have lunch or dinner aboard the ship, or going to a resort where you can relax. All this are various ways you can spend his season and not feel so guilty of having spent so much in January.

Now the trick to this is going together as a group, why you may ask! That’s because you tend to pull resources together as a group and in essence spend less than you would have if you went alone. You can get discounts as a group for boat cruises and the likes.

All in all the most important thing about Christmas is sharing your time with your loved ones, family and friends alike. It’s a time to thank God for each other and for the good health you all have received from God through out the year.

So as we all celebrate Christmas wherever in the World you are, just remember the main reason is to be joyful and create beautiful memories you will remember in ages to come. Have a Very special Christmas.🌲🌲🎅🎅

 

My Hairstyle, My Christmas

One of the best part of Christmas is having a beautiful hair style on. I remember when I was younger, having a Christmas hair was a thing. My mom will drop my sister and I at the salon for our hair to be neatly done.

My mom would have booked with the salon lady some days before, sometimes even weeks, because the salon is always overbooked at this time. Everybody had to have their Christmas hair done. My sister and I will choose from a variety of hair styles from the brochure the stylist provides, from braids to weaves to Ghana braids to gel-packing or stylish weaving. Most kids loves gel packing, it makes them look like their favorite fairy-tale model. I remember I always wanted braids and I would want my braids in red and gold colors because as a kid, I saw Christmas as a time to do something more beautiful than the regular, a time to shine and glow because in my head my hair is black while stick to black braids. What’s the fun in it will be my thought.

Now as an adult, the uplifting spirit of Christmas still stays but now I keep my hairstyles simple. The highlight however is I change them everyday.  Everyday something new. Today I’m with a Top-Knot style tomorrow   I will be with an up-do or a wash & go or probably a twist out. Its just like having a present everyday for Christmas, the curiosity of opening a box, that’s the excitement I get from gifting myself a new look everyday. I have learnt that our hair is like fashion it makes you very creative, you tweak it here and there to turn it from one style to another.

As an adult, I see Christmas as a time to be versatile with my hairstyles.
