In Windhoek, families went all out to ensure that Goodwill Day served its purpose of strengthening family bonds and spending quality time together.

Continuing in the spirit of Christmas, some families chose to enjoy the day with festive activities and time together.

Ulrich Mathis said Goodwill Day is a time for love, rest and making lasting memories with family. 

He believes the meaning of Family Day goes beyond celebration. "What family means to us includes the children who grow up and the traditions we inherit. From a young age, you already understood that the next day after Christmas, the family must reunite and share a meal. But now these days, after Christmas, they will start washing dishes because after Christmas, everybody is exhausted."

Mammies Kodiwo added that "Family Day is a beautiful day full of love, where we gather as a family, and the kids play until noon."

For Facial Tjozongoro, "It's a beautiful joyous day to celebrate family together and spread love among each other."
