Spending Christmas

Spending Christmas
The Festive season is here with us again for the umpteenth time with many choosing to keep the same routine over Christmas, spending it in the same manner. Some spend it with the extended family and if your happen to be Kenyan, you are familiar with the ‘Coasto’ trip (the Coasto trip is a weekend getaway to the Coast region of Kenya more specifically Mombasa). There are others only a handful though, who are only too willing to spend it quietly at home. The reasons for staying home vary with many lacking finances to go for a holiday out of the city or maybe the family has a new born in the house and travelling will be a very tedious process. Whatever the reasons are, it is because of external un- desirable circumstances beyond control that make many choose to stay at home.
This Festive season stay at home and enjoy the silence. One may decide to bake, play with the children, reflect on the year ending or just simply engage yourself in some charity work in the nearby children’s home or retirements home. If you choose to stay home here is a good recipe for a tasty cake which the whole family can bake together with everyone doing something to help in the process.
