Jingle bells! Oh well, probably too early…my bad. This might be the first Christmas shill you came across this year. But after what has been a relatively amazing year, the celebrations should start a bit earlier. At least for the fact that the majority of the world isn’t on lockdown. 2020 is one to forget very quickly, 2021 is one to remember. I might be judging this on a personal basis, but this is also the case with the majority.

For crypto investors, this is one of the most fruitful years yet, even better than that 2017 run. The chickens should be fatter this year, lol. I’m not a vegan anyways. Part of my new year rituals includes setting different targets and working throughout the year to hit those targets. For the first time since this practice started, I can confidently say I did hit all targets! Should help you understand why I’m shilling Christmas this early.

What’s your plan for Christmas? Let me guess; huge plans? Cool! Being African, I easily understand.

Over here, we have a culture of spending lavishly on celebrations. Every celebration is huge. Our closest neighbours live about 50 meters away, yet I still get to hear their party music like it’s playing right inside my room, lol. Thing is, they play some good music, dancing to it is already a reflex!

For me, the plans aren’t ‘huge’ but still, it might be my best Christmas yet; for the single fact that I could be together with the rest of the family after a year of restricted movement. Oh yeah, I miss my uncles living in the far west. The short one cracks some good jokes…and drinks a lot of beers. The other one might be a little too strict, but yeah, he keeps everything in place. I could only fantasize, last time we had them around, it was blissful. Two years later, I know it will even be better.

My own immediate family will be complete. Everybody in their numbers, lit! I lost my appetite for beer, so I guess it will a sober one for me. But it’s way too early to say for sure. Beers are special, they have a sort of control over man…this is not scientifically proven anyways.

Away from friends, but it’s not a total cut-off. A few friends over here, will be having them around too. Cool guys, can’t wait to laugh over some (very) dry jokes. Over here; the lock down is partially over, so, I will have to do a lot visiting and receive a lot of visitors…awesome ones.

Family discussions? I won’t allow them fill my ears with movie tales. Didn’t get to watch any episode of the popular Squid game and I won’t sit down and listen to anyone talk about them in a family discussion either. This time, I will take the lead…it’s about time.

It’s a season of giving! What crypto are you gifting your family and friends and why is it steem? Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology had a hell of year, another proud moment for early adopters like myself. I’m certain it is going make up bulk of the discussions and trust me to be the evangelist. There’s no perfect time to introduce anyone to cryptocurrency, but this appears to be a pretty good time. Everyone here will have to own a cryptocurrency before the new year.

I’m not sure the government here have any special plans for Christmas, but if they get to release those salaries right on time, we could have a blissful celebration without their ‘special’ plans. Even if they don’t the fun will live, I’m certain!

Now over to you, what’s your Christmas looking like?

hello @joelagbo,
After a long time of being locked up by the pandemic, the reunion will be one of the nicest things this Christmas, I think it is a good time to introduce cryptocurrencies to the whole family and the solution that can lead to financial freedom, it is possible that those who do not believe in coins will give a chance to this whole ecosystem now that they are better known.

Excellent plans for these celebrations, you have very well planned even the way everyone will react, I think they are excellent plans.
Thanks for sharing, and MERRY CHRISTMAS¡¡¡¡¡¡

Thanks, Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas!

Greetings @ joelagbo
To be able to have a better Christmas than last year is certainly wonderful. The planning you have is very good, I hope you can fulfill it. I hope I will be able to give some gifts thanks to cryptocurrencies. Merry christmas

Thank you very much for sharing

Sure, I will fulfill them! I'll have to gift some Steem or Hive. Get some account for them and let them start getting involved here too. You can do the same too.

I really enjoyed your publication @joelagbo, it transmits that joy of who despite any setback, continues to live and look for ways to have a good time, I think it is excellent that all your plans go through sharing with the family, because at the end of the day, count on him Support and the affection of your loved ones is the greatest treasure that we can count on this Christmas, greetings.

Family first, they are everything actually.

Everyone here will have to own a cryptocurrency before the new year.

These will become a reality in the future i hope so thanks for sharing much love 💕.

Thanks for taking time to read and Merry Christmas!

Hello brother, end of the year celebration is really a big deal over here oo and sometimes it seems people even save from the beginning of the year just to spend it all on the end-of-the-year celebration.

It can be really tempting to spend everything we have to make our families happy during these periods but then we must remember that we have another year ahead of us.

Past experiences have taught everyone a lot. Extravagant spending is out of the menu!

Good write up

hi @joelagbo

I’m not sure the government here have any special plans for Christmas,

Upcoming Christmas will surely be very strange and unpredictable. Especially since this new strain of Covid virus seem to be an excuse for most goverments to introduce strict lockdowns and enforce people to stay home. It's sad and miserable solution, which proved not to work till now. And it seem to be repeated again.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your dreams with all of us :)

ps.
I'm happily in Malaysia, where it's warm and cosy. I love experiencing snow for a day or two, but feeling cold longer than that is a BIG NO GO for me :)

did you ever experience snow in your lifetime?

Cheers, Piotr
