Nollywood actress and filmmaker Judy Austin sent a message to married women and single mothers, advising them against spending beyond their means for Christmas.

In a video she shared on her social media pages on Tuesday, December 23, she advised women against pressuring their husbands for Christmas and encouraged them to view it as just another normal day of the week.

She advised women to stay within their means by coming up with more affordable ways to celebrate this festive period, laying emphasis on contentment.

"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.

In related news, Legit.ng reported that Judy Ausin's husband and actor Yul Edochie ignored her outburst on social media.
