As we all know the holiday time is for fun, a time to relax and recover all the fun we have missed out on throughout the year. For me, it's about spending time with our loved ones, and having quality time with our family that we haven't seen for so long, it's the best time to reunite with our family again and it's special because it doesn't happen often.
When I was working in the factory, I always felt relieved when it was December time because I knew that was the time I got to relax and travel home to see my beautiful family but ever since I started learning work I haven't had time to travel home until I was done being an apprentice.
Before I opened my shop I always had a lot to do during the holiday period because there was nothing I had going on that was time-demanding so I had all the time to plan the holidays and throw a small parlor party at my mom's house.
Is there anything I have done so far in this holiday? I wouldn't say I have done anything so far because I have been occupied with work since the 23rd of this month.
The only thing I have done so far during this holiday was send a little gift I could afford to my family. Last week, my junior sister sent me a message on WhatsApp that she hadn't seen her Christmas gift.
I laughed and told her I didn't have much on me, she said even if it was small, she didn't mind so I just gave her the little I could afford. Immediately after I did that my niece's message came in asking for the same thing. I didn't have a choice but to share the Christmas gift for them because they are really awesome people in my life.
One thing I like about my family is that they don't ask for what the person can't give so if they know you can't afford something they wouldn't bother you for it.
After sharing the gift I realized that I hadn't wished anyone Merry Christmas so I got enough call card then called every one of my family members to wish them since that's all I could do for now because I was busy with work and I am still very much busy until new year.
When I called my mom she told me how much she had missed everyone coming home for the holidays but then I couldn't hide the fact that I had missed that moment too.
On Sunday I got a call that my mom came to celebrate with one of my sisters in Lagos because she was feeling lonely at home, so I had planned to visit her I had called my other siblings so that we all could go and play with her in our elder sister's house. That was all I have done this holiday so far, my celebration for the holidays will definitely come but after the holidays because for now, I can't leave work unless I want to lose customers.
One of my friends once told me that we were going to have a dirty December, which means we would hang out all through December time to have fun, I didn't say anything to that because I knew I wasn't going to follow them anywhere since I had to make money.
My friend wouldn't stop sending me pictures of how fun their outing was but I wasn't moved by it as long as I am making money nothing bothers me. Though I missed them all and my family I missed every one of them but money must be made because, in every plan I want to make, I must have money to execute it.
