Compliment of the seasons. Welcome back and do enjoy your stay with me today. Gradually we are moving towards the end of the year and we all know that this is actually a new beginning for everyone and we must all make the new year a beautiful one by setting out our goals to be achieved.

Week 94:- Edition 02:- talks about Holiday Traditions Misunderstood*

*What is that one tradition that is observed during the holidays that you don't really understand why it's been done. It could be observed online your hometown, or in your nation as a whole.

holidays are days when we do lots of things that we might not have the opportunity of doing ordinary time. take for example how we have taken enough time to rest this christmas season. this is something really good that we need but because of our excessive needs we don't want to rest, we would rather keep working and have little or no rest at all. that is human beings for you. we have lots of problems that we think that by working 247 we can solve all our needs, but the reverse is the case. the more we work and settle some problems, the more other problems surface from who knows where. we just keep pushing no matter how. but thank god for giving us holidays like this one so that we can be compelled to rest wether we like it or not. it is still funny that even at that some have refused to rest. this season they even become more busy than other times.

talking about holiday traditions that we observe. we have many many traditions ranging from changing of new clothes, buying of new shoes, getting a new car, cooking of special meals and lots more.

WHY NEW CLOTHES?

You don't really get the point, but everyone does it. What do you think of it?

I don't understand why we must put on new clothes. Can't we buy those new clothes at other times? Can't we buy them maybe say February or March? Why must it be this season?

The reason why I am saying this is because people have used that to gain some from us because we must buy new clothes especially for the kids. Some of those clothes when you buy them other times that is not holiday season like this one it will be very cheap. We can use the money for one to buy up to two or even three clothes with the same money we use to buy one clothe during the holiday season.

Would you rather everyone stop observing it?
For me I think it will be better we do our buying for Christmas season maybe in the month of November or even earlier than that. Things will become cheaper during Christmas season if we start doing it so.

I saw some cheap clothes that was bought very expensive this season by a friend. But if she had gone earlier than that we would have bought it cheaper than that.

I believe that if we can reduce the way and manner we rush to buy things during this season it will help go a long way in reducing the price of communities in the market.

Sort:  

I enjoy Thrift shopping all year around and take my time acquiring what I like. The articles are used or sometimes still brand new at a fraction of their original price and my funds will primarily support my local hospitals and other Community organizations. I did post a picture on the #LOH Discord of my latest Christmas Thrifted outfit on Dec 25th.
I dread New Year's day as it also when I find out how much my many Taxes will go up and it often puts me into the mood of NOT spending.

WOW 😲. That's great
Thanks 👍 for coming around

The pressure of buying new clothes have caused a lot of harm's than good, many people have been forced to stealing, gambling and lot more harmful habits due to wanting to impress by buying new clothing and accessories for Christmas

Yes it has. I think we need to reduce that for a while

Thanks 👍

Hahaha I guess you're so obsessed about this new clothes
For me believe I can get it anytime not necessarily during the holidays

This issue of buying new clothes has caused so much harm to a lot of people. I was wondering who brought the idea of buying new clothes on Christmas heheh. It's not a bad thing to do though, but it shouldn't be a do or die affair.

You forgot to remove the topic description, it's against the contest rules, maybe you should check it out.

I believe some buy the new stuffs as a present to theirselves and family.

Yeah 🤣 but no one bought for me. I feel like crying 😭
Thanks 👍

Buying items during the holiday period is usually expensive but people chose to buy either because they have the privileges of buying clothes only once in a year and during ordinary days other priorities may stand in the way.
And holiday is the time to relax from paying other bills all through the year to give their celebration some light. Although this is not economical. They want to look good at least for the festivities.

Hahaha 😂. We need to look good indeed.
Thanks
