Hivers, please permit me to share my thoughts on the challenge of festival and its after effect. I pray we will take something home from it.
There are so many challenges during the festival and each time one comes up. You agree that we are all warming up and looking forward towards forthcoming Christmas yuletide.
Christmas yuletide is a suitable time of bonding with family, a time of rest and vocation.
Yuletide is at time of exchange of pleasantries with loved ones and friends, a time of reaching out to needy, orphanage, and home of elders for donation in cash and kinds.
Some others, it is a time of touring, gamming and visiting parks, gardens, and beaches.
Whiles all those good things and gestures are going on at diverse places, others find it necessary to visit or reach out to friends they have not seen for a long time and reunite again. It is a time of dining and winning at higher levels.
In all of these, with several merits and good intentions, there are challenges that are associated with each of the listed items above, these challenges are not meant to negate nor become a source of discouragement to any who intend to embark on any of these items in this yuletide, It all depends on the plans and preparations toward any chosen one.
Having looked at all the items above, there are few ones that will become more challenging and the after effect is always demoralizing to families, friends, and co-workers after the yuletide.
Firstly, some people will engage in excessive spending and buying in the name of yuletide. Please be reminded that the yuletide is for one or two weeks and the long month of January is by the corner.

Secondly, be reminded that children and relations will be heading back to their various schools immediately after the yuletide and so, moderation should be applied.
Thirdly, if you must drive, Safety should be your watch word, yardstick and do all you can to avoid but lunatics and other drivers and road users. Your families both extended and immediate, your friends and loved ones are waiting to have you back and share their love with you.
Fourthly, ensure that your spending in yuletide does not encroach into your savings for the raining days. Rainy days( savings for old age or retirement) are sacrosanct.
I quite agree that everything under the sun has time and season, it is yuletide season, lets ensure that our action and activities in this yuletide does not impact negatively on times and seasons of other things ahead.
In all, Plan and apply caution, the only person that can make you happy and give you joy is yourself. When you fail to plan, you have already planned to fail.
Hivers, this is only common sense, it makes common sense to plan though common sense is not common. See you at the other side of the yuletide. Shalom!
