Good day Everyone, Welcome to My Blog ❤️😎,
I hope you all are doing great.
December is a month filled with so much Holiday and Special Events.
I can say this for everyone that We all love Holidays lol, unless you a super workaholic.
My favourite event of the year is Christmas and New year.
I remembered when I was younger, all I ever wanted was for the other months to disappear, I mean all the months in a year except December lol.
December is a month that has so much holiday in it, Christmas especially is one of the best time of the year for me,this is because of all that Christmas represents, which is Love, Care , Togetherness and HAPPINESS.
During December time, families comes together, almost every body from their various residents comes to their family house, it could be the house where their parents are, if they are still very much alive the better the gathering,We all Have great times with eachother, pray together, eat together, gift each other things, share their experiences all through the year.
I really don't know if this is what other countries from the other continents does too, but here in Africa we do that a lot.
In Nigeria especially, During Christmas period, people travels from a very far distances just to meet and Celebrate their families, friends and Loved ones. It is a tradition here. In fact people from the community or Street exchanges gifts, foods and present to eachother.
Reminiscing through many of the Christmas celebrations I experienced at home with my Family, there was no limits to people we can accommodate in our compound on Christmas day, everyone brings food, religion did not stop anyone, both Christian and Muslim celebrate, we share drinks, food: my mum has a way she arranges the food to be cooked and dishes for our visitors, in the Morning the Food readily available is Jollof Rice, Fried rice and chicken or Goat meat.
In the Afternoon she cooks Swallow and prepare more than 5 varieties of Soups, depending on the order of our visitor, in the Evening Everywhere is full of Food already, she just serves people the food she prepared down.
The Others things I enjoyed during Christmas:
Christmas Carols: my church are the best in Carol, I attended the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (R.C.C.G). The choirs are always up for a great Christmas carol, Great ministration of Songs and Christmas hymns.
Drama was also very popular during the Carol, sometimes there can be film shows.
Importantly we have love Feast,love feast is an amazing time to share gifts with your partner, most of the time you were paired through random selection.
The praise and worship session in the Church are usually very amazing.
The Amazing family time;
One of My favourite about the festive season when I was small was having to be with some of my extended family members, we gist,we eat together, we go to some amazing restaurants, we share gifts, we bond and most especially we are usually gifted money lol.
Right now things are not like before, I am actually not traveling home, I would only call them, send some Amount of Money to my Parents, most of my siblings are all scattered around the world lol, it would be super impossible for everyone to meet this Christmas, but regardless I would enjoy my Christmas with the people around me here.
Thanks so much for taking your time to read and Comment❤️
Do have a lovely day
