Nollywood actress and filmmaker Judy Austin has shared advice for married women and single mothers, urging them to avoid overspending during the Christmas season.
In a video posted on her social media accounts on Tuesday, December 23, Austin encouraged women not to pressure their husbands for extravagant gifts and to treat Christmas as just another ordinary day.
She emphasized the importance of celebrating within one’s budget, suggesting that women find creative and cost-effective ways to enjoy the festive period, while prioritizing contentment over extravagance.
“I have an important message: If you don’t have money for Christmas shopping, this message is for you. Please stop pressuring your husbands. You are a single mum taking care of everybody, so stop pressuring yourself for Christmas. We celebrate Christmas every other year. View this Christmas week as a week in July; don’t see it as Christmas week. View it like this August. That way, you wouldn’t be under any pressure. It is not a must to kill chicken, turkey, or goat every 25th. Who created that law? If you don’t have money to buy anything, don’t buy anything. Don’t pressure your husband it will overwork him, and he will be scared to come home. Be content with what you have,” she said in part in the video.
