The first thing I'd like to believe that Kenyans I really look forward to We like our food and we have special foods to celebrate special occasions. Yeah. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. The memes are many. Anyway It's. It's a culture. It's a culture of some of us and and how It's a culture. It's a culture of some of us and and how are we trying to save money this December season. How are you? First of all, I think it's a good thing to not drink safe dough in the sense that we are really trying to cut it out, eat it in restaurants, fast food. I think the easiest way like to save dough in terms of eating, I pick it home because I keep it home and pick it out wherever I go. And the food can serve you like for. What are your thoughts about getting it back here? We're not there, and it's not like we're just going to pack it and provide it and eat it. What are your thoughts? They're not going to eat it, but they're just going to eat it daily. They have a lunchtime, so I have to get that out of my head. I have to get a good job at all things. I'm going to get a job in the morning, and have a good one at night, and I can't get a good job at lunchtime. What about the trucker? The trucker. In Mattukubale. You eat at my house and it's a joke You're not really Oh my gosh And it doesn't need salt to drink It's too sour That is very smart thinking A lot of people think maybe when we go for things like shopping A lot of people buy It's a bit to maybe buy the whole year Instead of being smart And buying It's a bit sour It's not that sour It's like a kilo It's like a kilo of sugar And in January It's coming By the way January is almost here As we are talking about December So we are trying to be smart What else can you think of mom? Okay For me I think that Us as Kenyans and Africans We already know that in Christmas We are supposed to celebrate We are supposed to buy food We are supposed to do this and that But when it reaches January Now we don't have We don't have the money We don't have salt Maybe if we want to celebrate Because Christmas is also family time I feel like maybe we can come together And instead of maybe For our own family Instead of just going to the supermarket And buying things Together and contribute From every family You know collective responsibility So that at least we can have this kind of cash When I get For example when I get Money I will remove at least a section Of it and leave another one The other family will remove a section of it And leave another one So that when we come together we still celebrate But at least we still have a future So I feel like as much as you are celebrating We can also We can come together and share responsibility I like that And also Accounting on the money When I don't know what to do I can just buy everything But you can't change Even the working style Everything Just there So everything that you want to Get to just Get to not even thinking And laughing at you You can't treat me like Accounting on the money So basically let's all be Accountable for our money I'm sorry I want you to use A bit of a technical edge Let's share that one And also Avoid impulse buying Especially for ladies When you are shopping And you are planning to buy something And then in Africa you see Something else Budgeted for And you are like You just end up buying And at the end of the day Yes you get it and then after two weeks You start asking yourself I don't know what to do And then when I eat I don't know what to do But you don't really At that time it won't make sense But in the moment In the heat of the moment You will be like You have to just avoid impulse buying And it's not easy But to journey into When you are under pressure You have to take care of it You have to take care of it The funny thing is that Is it easy to not have food For the first time in a season These are things that people have been doing Through the whole year So in Africa We want to overdo things again Like it's not as if It's like You just buy this Christmas And you will get it Why to find for Facebook At Why to find for channel on Twitter Hashtag is why in the morning I like to be practical I want to assume That you are close to the topic I was in a A public high school Yes I was in a public high school And it was boring Oh my gosh People used to Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just Just travel. So travel, the place, when you're in the coast, and anywhere else. And first of all, we want to tell you, please be safe. Yeah, this kind of a time where you're going around everywhere, please be safe. If you're there to the rules, count on them. Just be safe, and speak out, okay. From 3 to 5, we'll use the same words. Be safe, we want to see you next year. Yes. I didn't see that coming okay so one of the things I would advocate for is maybe could be a book beforehand so it's not going to be a crazy price so yeah ticket is three thousand three thousand what she said yes so what else would you like talk about traveling I see you ready okay so I know that other than Quenda, Mombasa and outside country many most of us to rendanga ushago then I feel like I'm going to come to the police airport you must say you're going to disrespect Flanie by there you get out of there red-eyed so I feel like let's say for example in other families let's say there's some who are less fortunate and there's some who are so I just want to add you people to be kind like the one who have like cars yeah you can carry you can carry the rest of the people along so that they can at least they can at least save that fair and again if for example in the same family and you have a car and I have a instead of all of us going with our cars you can just choose to use one car so that you can save on the fuel yeah me think on the on the issue of traveling okay personally spend it could travel because by the time festive season of the car you pattern is shared travel like the holy have been doing things in the end of he's in my festival festival in in the middle travel so may think like you give car festive season the ladies most especially one of the one up and I could travel the time me as our advice to like chill to go to home by 20 series mother 20 movie let's stick with family like traveling let's travel through they are through the other beats of the year give kind of me a festive season so we do at least one to one we've given them a whole year for them to miss us I think it's good to take a vacation especially if you've had a long hectic yeah so it's actually good but then it should be within your means when I have a question out of the country but like like you are you are comparing through your house you see it in a different light you can't even talk about it that's shady that's shady I was saying about our going to Sharks basically we can't ignore the fact that finances are all on you especially come a baby you have gone to the urban areas to look for a job or something and then you so everyone is basically looking up to you like so you should also like have a plan so that you don't overdo it like yes it's good to give them but yeah let's just have it planned so that's by the time generally in Africa also book up on a place I have school fees and rent I want to say something about what you say you just said that ladies are the one who travel you poor have a stereotype even men travel like I mean yeah there when you were you know in Kenya it's it's just real that you every day in the news you hear people talking about sponsors and you know those are people's fathers they're taking girls out and you guys are just assuming that it's girls who travel like I said it's ladies who put on that pressure of traveling apart from him as himself okay let's let's let's be fair to the girl child okay I mean she asks for I don't know I'd like to say that ask for matches just this year alone world cup just this year alone world cup just this year alone world cup just this year alone world cup just this year alone world cup it's like the game is different in the house outside game you want to by the way game you want to so I'm a complain so sometimes I'm yeah but truth be told men will always be men at the end of the day men will always be men at the end of the day okay some point to be the peer to me succumb to your pressure of going out vacations we need to like cut it down well peer cut it down is that really a pressure see not pressure really but you know how ladies can get with something normal they get emotional with stuff because you guys never listen we have to say it and repeat it repeat for you to hear daddy you see you see we are men and like usually straight forward so you want XYZ I'll do it but you don't have to keep on repeating it last year to Leander to Leander to Leander coast this year to Leander to Dubai like we need to chill out peer we do things the local way to chill you get I imply that you have to go for a vacation I just said once in a while it's good to take a vacation you know you are saying once in a while right now but to keep on going you have a point you do have a point okay let's move away now we are still on December things we are still on facebook at white 54 channel on twitter hashtag is white 54 holidays or white in the morning the slides of today are ready so we are going to put them up on your screen in just a few seconds alright so we have the first one is travel be on transit during off peak hours if you have the ability to travel before is in my 20 something the fair has just reached unimaginable heights do so carpool that you mentioned it so share if you can book getaways as a group to cut costs and I learned this it I learned this year going as a group is just fantastic in the manner that you want to know and be self sustained versus having to go to a hotel moja moja moja it's wonderful guys I don't know why I just discovered it but it's okay the next one is planet advance to take advantage of offers see why the row sale please just go forth and prosper there for you avoid destinations that have steep seasonal prices so Kaki Lamton on the coast I think at ASA but it's just all sold out everywhere so just maybe Kasi coast one day give us three each of you challenge anyway like surprise I don't know it's even a beach it's even a beach it's even a margie how did he know oh I want to go to the beach after she went to the beach after the first day she was ready to go from to the event I want to go to the beach that plan they liked so where else can you advise someone to go this holiday you can come and eat sugar cane there right there so in sugar you can come and carry extra sugar and you say hi to Obado too he's there I want to have a respect traction oh my gosh where would you suggest we go where would you suggest we go count is zero zero one count is zero zero one oh really really that's why you have a very good opinion about you but you don't have an accent why I don't really it just comes when you're talking to the person who shares the same accent okay I have lunch with or without accent after this just in case you don't know oh my gosh I don't have an accent okay all right so the next one it's difficult to go to the beach there's a difficult beach here in Kimbo you can go there you can go there but you can't go to Kimbo it's not all about beaches you can go for hikes, nature walks there's so many things that you can do not just beaches alone you can go to Penimaji Samaki Samaki don't relate to that situation here there's no destination oh my gosh I wish we had like a directory we just tell you here here go here here here I might just put something together for you so the next set of slides number three is we started man crush Monday this week I know I look fine but deep down deep down he lets us go back to our roots and just buy me crisps please sometimes being an adult okay so first tip thrift shop there is this legit awesome place in Umoja like me thrift shop like doka doka you've seen it it's so cool it has changing rooms it's clean you can have clothes as cheap as a hundred and fifty shillings you can have it you can have it you can have it you can have it you can have it you can have it you can have it after this we talk you're never too fly for thrift I can just alright so the second one is don't be afraid to negotiate you can have it okay you assume it was 100 I love how you work your way up where is the end of the day where is the end of the day oh madam you already have clothes but no you already have clothes please be smart it's not like you're just adding clothes into your wardrobe you can have it you can have it in December so it's Sunday best things alright and then we have compare costs so even if it's thrift shopping and the levels so maybe in your tender maybe in Gara maybe in Pesamingi just be smart compare the costs and then we have don't succumb to peer pressure on the ground yes we invest in photoshoots they make our base on flick their shoes are red bottoms oh my gosh it's gonna be okay January is coming for all all of us alright so would you like to add something or take away from the clothes they are all peer pressure all of you sorry to say especially the girls maybe let's say in school everybody is smart this person has come with a new cloth but in real sense maybe you cannot afford that kind of cloth so I feel like we should be satisfied with what they have I know as much as you might want it at that time you don't have it so maybe you start taking money for free or money for another expense so that you can be the same as them at the end of the day after being equal with them you just be smart and it's over maybe nobody will even recognize you and there you really have what you said has just sent shivers down my spine okay let's just imagine a practical situation antislakwim has gone and used school fees to buy new hair just squeeze it over from hair to shoes so new hair, new clothes, new shoes so I struggle and I get money and I don't even have money also that she can look nice and spell on your flan I love who you are this is why people are depressed stop it stop it I mean people will just love with what you have when you continue living to the expectations of people even yourself will never be happy I want to be like Nani after you become like that you see a better person I want to be like Nani so you'll just be living up to the expectations of people just know who you are what you have and be satisfied with it that's what I can tell you and we're talking about small things even though we're talking about shopping on a budget yes, to recognize so we might as well do it smart but it's not a must there are things we can do for ourselves and for each other and for our families and maybe someone else out there that does not involve money like imagine your presence is enough like if you don't have money you're not going to be happy it's quality time and when you see something important you'll say hey, people are out here trying to get skin that's glowing like this over here you just get it by laughing right? don't be so hard on yourself it's going to be okay alright, the next one I kind of put them in different ways so when I started with decorations that is a Christmas-Christmas feel then I thought but we're Africans it's only because of graduation first of all because of Christmas tree and then I started to get to know people and I started to get to know people and I started to get to know people and I started to get to know people and we're not very gift people like say this to my auntie I have a Christmas gift for you we put under the Christmas tree we are not Caucasian like that but we still want to have a good time so I figured we could put all of them together including charity because a gift to someone you don't know charity is still a gift so DIY do it yourself I have this friend, her name is Faith Avia she does fantastic DIY things and she puts them on YouTube so for decorations she is in less than a hundred Bob and it looks like something of a movie like it's amazing what she does so you can do it yourself guys and then you can recycle you don't have to keep buying and buying like last year I didn't do it I did it I did it I did it and then we have be practical if you must put up the decor use what is available use the pressure of importing lights and you will get wet if you want to have a good time you can use the Christmas tree please let's just prioritize charity give gently used items I hope you understand the lingo I used there gently used items as opposed to giving money and this goes to people who are very opposed to giving money to strangers I have this friend he is also in Kenya yes he is also in Sadaqa too Sadaqa too like going to church just giving the way we have been told to give in the Bible is a problem because you never know where that money is going now yeah it's buying pasto a big car as I footzuki my way in life and someone tells me to keep fit it's fine if it's not but it's okay so gently used items so yes I have this friend he is also in Sadaqa I have this friend he is also in Sadaqa he is also in Sadaqa he is also in Sadaqa and they also want to smile with the new things they put in also charity also means spending time with those who matter or who are alone this festive season so just I hope you understand like people out here are sad life is difficult economy is not good so what to guys let's just be nice to each other imagine if anything if you are going to do anything at all this December just smile at someone and give them a compliment so that sounds simple now simjue okay this is what I can say Aparna you are giving a stranger a compliment a compliment can go a long way you never know what that person is going through just come here and tell vile hi vile you look so beautiful you even forget the problems okay as we wind this up we are taking the last comments where should I start okay so I know that we've inspired pull out there the queens yeah and the kings so to kenyans just have a good Christmas be happy but responsibly yeah I would like to wish you a merry Christmas and also to the queens just be satisfied with what you have you are already a queen that's all so the ladies out there you are beautiful you are let nobody tell you otherwise or just tell it yourself you don't need someone to actually tell you just know you are yeah have fun this festive season don't limit yourself just be good have fun and take care of yourself above everything yes and spend your money wisely January in Africa amen okay to the kings and queens you are the special to the kings and queens outside there I'd like to tell you that Christmas comes once in a while once in a year so it's a time of reflecting of how they have been sitting around with family sharing the warmth of being around people who love you and people you love but let's give from the family level as we go outside then finally let's have fun let's enjoy ourselves and as we wait for the new year to be better people than who we are yeah my people are deep I don't know what to do after that cry cry okay what I would say is forgive forgive yeah forgiveness should be rampant this season nice spill over at 2019 p.m. when you forgive people who have hurt you it's not for them imagine it's for you and the peace that you get it's so fresh guys you feel like you've accomplished all your goals in life like your goods guys forgive and forgive yourself and forget so forgive no one gave no forgive then forget and forgive yourself you're gonna make mistakes and that's alright but what she said and what all the queens have been preaching out here please love yourself baby me I love you why to fight for on facebook that's why to fight for channel onto the hashtag is why to fight for holidays or why in the morning my name is Valentine or at color me and from all of us here we wish you an amazing day let's wave bye
