Buying Gifts,Christmas 2016

Christmas 2016, was a very exciting time. I and my son Jonathan went  to check out the shopping malls. There were  a few malls that I like to visit at this time of the year, mostly because it has all the best  Christmas items for sales. Books was a popular choice for children and there were plenty of it at quite a reasonable price. Where as buying gifts for adults was always a major challenge.

Books aplenty

Last year Christmas was a very happy occasion because almost all of the family members managed to join in the gathering .It was celebrated in my mum's place and it was a hub of activities from morning to night , nonstop fun for the whole  family. After church  service, everyone had their own breakfast and then it was back home to start the preparation for  the day ahead .The decoration of the veranda was done a few days ahead .The live Christmas tree was the type we used when we were young and that alone triggered the nostalgic atmosphere of Christmas for everyone.
