Christmas time creates common struggles, fun for everyone
As you may have already noticed, Christmas is right around the corner.
It’s that time of year again where everyone starts going CRAZY about buying gifts, preparing delicious meals and having the insight of the beautiful Christmas trees, decorated with all colors and ornaments. The stores are completely CONGESTED and the public is overwhelmed, both customers and even employees. Although employees are stressed, they are also thrilled because they will be making a couple of EXTRA BUCKS because of the long hours worked.
Some parents know about the struggle of doing Christmas shopping, last minute so they start their Christmas shopping early in the year, around September or October. When stores are just beginning to get prepared for the holidays, everything you could possibly need is still in stock. Other parents aren’t as prepared, so they decide to do last minute shopping, which leads them to shedding a million tears because the items they needed are nowhere to be found. Now what is there left for them to do?
Thank God for online shopping, which some people don’t want to go through the hassle and long lines so they choose this option. It is a good and easy way to be able to get the gifts you need last minute. Ohh, and there’s a plus to online shopping–some stores do FREE SHIPPING for the holiday season! Yes, we said FREE SHIPPING. That’s even better because you don’t have to get out of your house in the cold weather to just buy gifts for people. One can simply browse through the internet and buy gifts for friends and families as well, while staying bundled up in layers of blankets and watching Netflix.
But Christmas is more than just about the gifts. During this time of year families unite, decorate their houses beautifully, and eat more. The eating part isn’t over on Thanksgiving, it carries on through the new year.
The pungent smell of Christmas trees is everywhere, there are a gazillion lights around houses that can blind you, but it doesn’t really matter all that matters is that it looks amazing. It’s also a great time for people to turn on their chimneys since the weather is SOOO SUPER cold and listen to the amazing Christmas carols all while making gingerbread houses.
