Merry Christmas!It feels so good to see people hustle and bustle in every corner. Rushing to buy here and there. Food everywhere. Parties and drinks. When did I stop this craze?
Let me think.
It has been 2 or 3 Christmases wherein the family celebrated it with the least of expenses! I thought of teaching my children to learn the art of "delaying". It is the time of the year when it seems that "one has to buy" a new shirt, pants, shoes etc. as if there will be no other days to come.
It is a special season. But spending scares me so much.
We spent less for the past 3 years and I realized we ended up with the same amount of happiness for the season. For less amount in our pockets.
I do not want to be pressured this time and for the rest of my life. Happy Christmas memories is not just about the gifts. It is being together. And when one is alone. It is about making oneself complete.
I am glad my children learned to adjust with the worst of our financial condition.
