I don't want to bring negativity in you or lessen you joy of the festivals....but just want to bring you to the correct level of enjoyment...have you ever felt that in the race to show that we are very happy and enjoying ...you spend too much? ...and later the festival becomes pressure for you?...not only financially...in Diwali here in India people do lot of cleaning and in that they get so tired that the happiness is lost somewhere...shouldn't we balance all things and enjoy only at the time of enjoyment? this can be done by proper planning....do you agree?
HAPPY DIWALI, HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY COMING NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!

As a child I always thought that all of the festivals and holidays were all about fun and games. However, I'm a mother now and I've come to the understanding that it isn't that way at all, there is a lot of work and preparation that needs to go into play when you are planning for a celebration like this. So, though I still have a lot of fun with the holidays throughout the year, I do find that there is a lot of stress associated with it as well.

We don’t have a great deal of festivals here really and all we are all doing now is preparing for the Festive Season with Christmas shopping etc. It can be stressful if you let it be especially financially and it can spoil the significance of the season. It is vital to keep a b balance and not allow the commercial side of the holiday season to take over. Best wishes to you too eshaan!

If you have enough money nothing is pressure and it is pleasure.
If you are running short of money not only festival life itself will become a pressure.Every festival has some good meaning to celebrate. Take the good things and celebrate depending on your pocket strength.
