The Christmas season is the season of Celebration, sharing, loving, giving, meeting new people, proposing and so much more.
But how do you handle; "Daddy, I want this one for Christmas, mummy can we go staking this Christmas; knowing you have only 30,000 (thirty thousand) which you have budgeted and, in your mind, already cleared bills and brought essential things you need.
How do you simply turn down that cute sad face that looks up at you in the morning with such request and they expect you to say; "Alright go wear something nice, I'll take you."
How you tell them NO and that makes them mop for the entire Christmas that they lock themselves up in the room and not talk to you?
What about Relative pressure or Work pressure not to talk about community pressure?
Best way to handle Pressure of Christmas
- Ask God to take Control in everything; You might not have much, but he is All sufficient God and He knows better.
- Spend only within your financial and mental capacity; You should not borrow to give your mum that car or give your child that toy she wants so much.
- Christmas isn't only about spending and buying; it is about spending time with each other, doing things together.
- Do not make promises you can't keep.
- Remind your children/wards of the reason for the Christmas season; Children understands; let them know.
- Ignore overscrupulous talks (baseless criticisms); do not let other people's status intimate you; everyone has different fingers. The fingers are not equal.
- Live according to your means.
- Lastly, be happy for your family and most especially for yourself; that is all that matters.
Do not allow bad vices to dim your happiness; you are better than what they see now.
