I say it all the time that Christmas season is my best time of the year and it has always been like that since I was a child and it hasn't changed as an adult. I love everything about the season so much that thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
As a child, I think my love for it was because of the clothes, shoes, underwear and lovely hairstyles we would make not to talk about the cash gifts we get from friends, family members, including strangers and the deferent delicacy that would be served. Who doesn't like nice things? So, it is a cherished season for me then because of all these.
As I grew older and I began to understand the reason for the season, I have come to cherish it even more. As an adult now, I don't enjoy the luxury of getting everything I want anymore but I have to provide for my kids and make the season a beautiful one for them. This still didn't change the fact that I look forward and prepare for it every year.
This Christmas season began for me last week as I was able to join the charity organization that I volunteer for on a Christmas fun fair where we go into villages to give to the children and the elderly. The trip was a unique one and I was glad I could make it. We made the children happy in our little way and that is enough joy for me.
Another reason why I enjoy this season a lot is for the fact that the holidays afford me enough time to go out and merry as much as I want and also rest as much as I want to. I had a get together with few friends few days ago at the beach, and I felt refreshed, happy, free and motivated. I had fun like I haven't had in years, all thanks to the season.
It is also a time that I get to see family and friends that I haven't seen for sometimes because of work and distance. As it is right now, I am with my sister that I haven't seen in about eight months. The season has given me the opportunity to see her and my nephew and catch up. We have a lot to talk about and recipes to try. I'm just enjoying my holiday to the fullest.
I am really grateful for the year ending. I started the year with a lot of aspiration that it would be better than the previous one and I had a lot of things planned that I would do to make it better. I did some and couldn't do most.
I cried a lot this year and I also laughed so much. I learned, unlearned and relearn. but I'm really happy for life, growth, Grace, strength to carry on, and my health.
I win some and I lost some. No regrets! We move again.
I'm just going to continue to enjoy my holiday by giving as much as I can.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you.

The charity organization you joined was a very good deed and according to me, such work is more enjoyable. Helping such people is a very virtuous act in itself.
The happiness of those children would have made your day. I hope you will enjoy and celebrate the upcoming festival with your family.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Volunteering when it comes to children is what I do a lot and it gives me so much joy.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is a lovely season. A period to have a nice time with one's family. I wish you lovely holidays.
I also love this season and it has always been my best season. It always look different every year. That was a nice move to give to the charity organisation, making the children and adults happy on a season like this. The reason for the season is to put smiles on people's faces as this is pleasing to God.
