When it comes to feel-good fuzzy holidays, nothing beats the spirit that comes along with December festive season, particularly Christmas Day. From taking the family to a tourist destination, spending quality time with rural folks or just hanging out with friends in the suburbia, Christmas Day is always

characterized by merry-making and bauble explosions as family and friends unwind through food and drink.

And when it come to celebrating Christmas, our own Zim celebs are not left out on the bells and whistles on the day, unless they are busy making the grind elsewhere.

With just a day to go before Santa comes to town, we’re counting down our top celebrities who have made preparations for Christmas-including those who will be working, all in the name of the Benjamins!

Tinashe Mutarisi – Nash Paints boss
Christmas is time of giving and loving and at Nash Paints; we will be doing both, spending quality time with family and giving attention to our customers.

We have started dishing out goodies to our customers and we will be open for business throughout the holiday and every customer will have an opportunity to walk away with a gift. We will close business with a Christmas Party on January 7 for our customers and staff members.

Mercy Mushaninga – Modelling agency owner
Christmas time is family time. I am spending my Christmas with my kids and we have invited my daughters’ friends to cook for us, and they have since started preparing. It’s the first Christmas my daughter suggested on spoiling us and we cannot wait to partake in the festivity!

David Mudzudzu – Businessman and proprietor
It will be business as usual on Christmas Day and throughout the festive holiday as we strive to make our customers happy. In between the hectic work period, I will take my family to our rural home in Mhondoro to see my mother, who will definitely slaughter a goat for me.
