I can vividly remember how my first day of this year played out negatively. It's just like yesterday, so fresh in my memory, and today we are talking about the things I am looking forward to in December. How time flies indeed! In a couple days, the whole jingle bell songs will begin and permit me to say that December always comes as a gift to me because I usually look forward to a lot, more like a mixed feeling, from anticipation to intentional reflections.
Let's quickly look into the hive naija prompt for the week so we can be on the same page as I walk you through all I am anticipating.
It's only a few weeks before the last month of the year. Is there anything you're looking forward to in December? It may be a vacation, an item you want to get for yourself, a particular goal you're set to achieve, or just the December season itself. Share this with us and why it's important to you.
It's been a busy and eventful year in my life. I never for once expected that there would be a time I looked around and found my husband unavailable at home for a long time, but then it happened since February till date, making me engage in activities that obviously I shouldn't be doing all of that with the presence of my husband, but I had no choice but to attend to everything as it unfolds. In fact, it still baffles me on how I joggle the whole of my off chain duties and yet remain active in this space. To say that it's been a busy and stressful year for me is an understatement, and with the way things are going around in my home recently, I smell a more hectic next year, hehehe. But it's all good since the whole idea is to prepare for a better future for me and my households.
So one of the things I am looking forward to in December is that moment to rest and reconnect with my family members, in-laws, and childhood friends. I am planning on a trip to my hometown with my family and, if possible, the first week in December so I can spend much time before running back to the city to continue the hustle. Imagine how busy I have been since this year. It would make a lot of sense to take out time to recharge so I can end my year with a clear mind and welcome the new year with a refreshed mindset.
How beautiful it will be to have evenings filled with storytelling with my grandma and with my kids, just like she did to me when I was growing up under her care. I bet my kids will have a fulfilled moment with this trip at home. How beautiful I will enjoy my mornings that don’t require a rush to get the kids ready for school? These alone are joyful moments I am looking forward and can't wait to finally behold December.
The Christmas breeze already filled the whole corner in my home, as the kids are super excited since I announced to them our travels to our hometown. I better not change my mind because it will be disastrous on their end with the level of excitement and counting days they have been doing at home now😃. The vibes are becoming more than Christmas itself, and I am beginning to join them in counting the remaining days so we can experience this fun moment knocking on the door.
Revisiting some important places at home will be something exciting; participating in different cultural festivals mapped out for December alone in my hometown is always fun to behold. It's sure going to be a time to take a break from the daily grind and buzz around. As a blogger, capturing and documenting every moment during this vacation is a must and will surely bring fulfillment in my life.
December feels so magical, with the festive spirit all over the place. Overall, I am looking forward to a moment of relaxation and self-pampering while I reconnect with my relatives and enjoy the vacation, capturing every moment and the amazing things it brings.
