Aunt Niri’s Fun Corner
From my corner Gearing up for Christmas
Hello precious readers, Can you believe that it is just a little over a month until Christmas!!!! Yippee!!! I cannot emphasise just how much I have looked forward to Christmas all of my life. The awesome season where one feels like a little kid again….buying gifts, wrapping them up, being secretive regarding the presents and the fun-filled events that you are planning for your friends and family, the meal planning, and just good, old-fashioned family time. As I sit here, I ponder my Christmas 2023. Since turning 50, earlier this year, my whole perspective has changed regarding Christmas and celebrations in general. Why do I
put myself under so much of pressure for just one day, or a few days, at the most? Is it all really worth it? Does it really matter that the roast and its accompaniments come out perfect, the desserts and puddings be sublime, or that the day be a picture perfect memory in the making??? A resounding, emphatic YES!!!!! It does! Every day does!! I look forward to family time, with bickering, banter, and giggles. I treasure watching my family devour the meals I have prepared with love and adoration for each one of them. I am mesmerised by their expressions as they open the gifts that I have thoughtfully purchased, and I sigh with immense gratitude and contentment when everyone dozes off with full bellies and a content expression on each of their precious faces. I live for family, I treasure each one, and I am fully aware of the blessings that I have from Abba Father. Are you??? Until our next issue, Love ya, Niri
