Living in African heat we normally celebrate outdoors on various days, very relaxed atmosphere unless it is raining.
Christmas Eve a special dinner also normally taken outdoors being cooler than in the house, now this is where mosquitoes come to eat me alive 😂.
Presents were given to the children, now all grown up this too no longer happens, frenzy buying normally ends up not being what was wanted.
When children were teenagers we purchased a gift to the family, like a TV decoder, or TV depending on what was needed to make the family happy throughout the new year.
Thanks for stopping by and for sharing ❤️
