The Christmas season is always filled with lots of cheer and celebration for most people. That is when we get holiday discounts, we get to see Christmas movies, and we get to spend time with family and just enjoy each other's company. For me, it is no different, and this holiday was no different as well. I got to see a lot of relatives I wasn't opportune to see all through the year, I got to meet a new addition to the family (he's marrying one of my relatives), and travelled to the village as well.
Usually, Christmas Day is the highlight of the whole holiday, but it was different this year. In fact, this year's Christmas Day was the most lacklustre Christmas day I have ever had. It was just like a regular Saturday, except this time we just added some guinea fowl meat to our dinner and that was it. Even the customary church service we usually attend that morning was missed.
It was after Christmas that things started to take off a bit. I travelled to the village for the new year festivities and from there things were getting better. There wasn't much in terms of outings or anything, but I got a lot more rest. I was no longer in charge of a lot of things and I could just sit down and relax. And also there's just something comforting about laying down on a mat on the floor in the evenings. The only downside was that we had a terrible internet connection in the house. So I had to go to the two edges of the house (preferably from outside) whenever I wanted to have a decent connection. Even that served its purpose as it made me spend a bit more time offline. I even had the time to play football (after a very long dry spell) with some of my cousins and took a lot more naps than I had in a very long time. It was the vacation I needed for sure.
Despite all the fun moments I had with my family, it comes as a shock that my most memorable moment during the holidays didn't come from any of them. Rather it came from a place I haven't mentioned in a while (at least on hive). It came from my online family in the city of neoxian. On the 29th I got to experience my first ever Mega giveaway from MR D. I have been there for I think close to 3 years now and I finally got to witness the city's premium event that only comes when BTC hits a significant milestone. This mega giveaway happened because BTC (the father of all coins) crossed the 100k mark.
On that day I had to move a chair to the edge of the house where the service was good. My PC, my phone, and a power bank all came with me. I hopped on a call with one of my closest friends and even though the call kept breaking we stayed on the call cause it was nice to have some emotional support in those moments. Some of my siblings also came to add to the emotional support. I had assembled a team before the event, and on the day my team won the most. Making the experience all the more fun. One, notable moment was when we all decided to work together to share the biggest prize. It was a special moment and was definitely the highlight of my holiday this year.
I wonder what the subsequent highlights may be, usually, it's always family outings, but this year was different. Maybe next year will be different too who knows?
Anyway, the holidays are over and it is a wake up to reality moment right now. Time to work towards making this year an amazing one. See you on chain.
