It’s that time of the year where bright lights start to fill up our malls, homes and streets and of course Christmas trees go up, Christmas movies become a thing and basically the season for the long Christmas break from work.

Christmas like we all know it is not just about the festivities but it is the time when most families get to spend a lot of time together and bond over the year that is ending and prepare for the new year to come.

Aside from the common Ugandan tradition of traveling to the village for Christmas, the trend for matching Christmas clothes is slowly catching on to families in Uganda.

Some families have been known to wear the matching clothes by making custom made African print clothes to make them stand out as family especially on Christmas morning when they go to church.

On the other hand, others are getting into the matching Christmas movie pajamas spirit. You know when you watch a Christmas movie and families are wearing sweaters or pajamas that are green or red- the Christmas colors, that trend is slowly coming to families in Uganda.

Aside from the fact that some people are getting onto the train for those matching outfits because they look cute in movies, these sort of show a form of unity within the families. It is not often that everyone will be wearing something matching so it sort of signifies a form of belonging within these families.

These matching outfits are also very cute plus Instagram and Snapchat worthy. In an era where we snap and post everything, imagine your family in those outfits and you’re posting on your social media with the caption “Merry Christmas to you and yours” it just looks beautiful.

So the question on your minds is where can you get these outfits, there are a couple of options for you. Firstly you can dial *157# every Tuesday to get a discount code for shopping on the Jumia app. Secondly, you can buy yourself a Pulse data bundle and scroll through different pages on your Instagram that have started taking orders for these outfits.
