How do you spend Christmas with your children :MondayMommyMoments
Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS)
Growing up I studied at a convent school .Christmas was a big deal at school .
Raising money for Christmas events at the orphanage run by our missionary sisters ,were a part of our school activity.
It earned us extra credit .Also our teachers were strict about not letting parents give the money.
Rather they wanted us to learn the secret of asking people for money and getting it with a smile.
That was my first exposure at working for a cause.
When I tell my daughter about Christmas I try to teach her about this part of Christmas .
About Jesus.How he loved people
How he gave up his life still caring about others.
When we think about others and care for each other ,life becomes more beautiful.
But my daughter is 4 .So all this often leaves her looking wide-eyed at me.
She ends my stories with a hug and plenty of kisses .Telling me she loves me and her father and her granny and Mimi (my little sister ) and all her friends.
Caring about people you don’t know is a concept that’s alien to most .So no wonder a child looks confused.
That’s one thing I want to teach my little girl .
When I started my blog I had one major goal.
I wanted people to embrace a healthy lifestyle while enjoying life.
Now healthy life is impossible if we don’t eat healthy.
That’s why I absolutely love baking cookies with a healthy twist .
Baking with Rai is fun.We have a competition Who can lick the bowl faster!
They are great for her school Tiffin and afternoon snacking.
Plus I got this great idea of gifting friends home-made cookies from Divya.
It’s fun and pocket friendly .
Baking at home and Christmas go hand in hand.
Another thing I absolutely love is decorating the Christmas tree with Rai.
I have a potted fern which we decorate with ornaments that we buy and some that we make.
Love making Christmas garlands to deck up the home.
We are waiting for this little tree to grow up. She’s small ,but cute and leafy,waiting eagerly for us to deck her up
Christmas is also a time to remember about persistence. About perseverance. About doing things because they are right It’s about family and friends. It’s about selflessness.
It’s about giving .It’s about remembering that giving is always difficult .But receiving may be even more of a problem.
When you give be open to receiving, because for both you need to be ready .
Have a fantastic Christmas and keep shining.
Love yourself because you are a fabulous mommy and those little eyes are looking at you.
