Christmas pro and contra

we lived on a very limited income and what i don't like is that people expect you still to buy expensive gifts. my hubby's family is very stuff oriented and seem to only care about that. i like to see my kid's faces when they open their gifts.

Christmas is very much awaited. This is the day when we remember Jesus Christ was born. I should say, this is also Pro and Contra, why? for the kids, It is Pro because they will be going to their godparents to ask/receive their presents or aguinaldos. And Contra, for the godparents, who have lots of Godchildren, who are very problematic, how would they budget their money to buy gifts. But even though it pro and contra, I would say this , Christmas is the day of giving. You will not care on how much we spent as long as we are all happy and enjoying this day with all smiles not only in our faces but hearts.

OMG 12 grandkids? I guess since it's Christmas I am lucky I only have 4! This year we are only buying for the kids in the family. What I don't like about Christmas is I miss my parents dearly and my family is a mess because basically nobody is talking to anyone and they won't give in seeing it's a holiday. What do I like....you know I can't think of a thing.

I love Christmas and I love presents. I love to love to wrap them away but I only have one problem that I do not have that much money and it's difficult. however, because I have to buy a lot of gifts are needed for this gift. but I think it's so easy if you have the money everything is so easy. inetersna topic. nice day!

the only thing about christmas I like is that all shops are closed for 2 days. No visitors, no need to cook, no need to drag my kids to school. Silence at last and some time for me to sleep a bit extra (as till 6 am) if I need it. It's the only real vacation I have. Christmas has nothing to do with buying presents or santa claus. If you are a christian (like people in my country) you go to church at midnight Dec 24/Dec 25 and that's it. If not you stay at home. I don't like shopping and am happy I don't have that stress (what to buy for whom and probably not being happy with it since they already have plenty of stuff way more as they need).

I prefer a big family dinner at xmas... rather than gifts.

When I was a kid, Christmas was my most favorite holiday of the year. At the start of BER months, we start to hear Christmas songs played on the radio. The community becomes jolly because of the Christmas decors especially at night when the Christams lights are lit up. Christmas is also the time of family reunions and get together. But most importantly, Christmas is the time we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. We spend more during Chritmas than any other time of the year because of the gifts that we buy and the foods that we serve for festivities (noche buena), but it does not mean that we have to get broke. I guess we just have to spend within our budget and that should be fine.
