How do you celebrate holidays?
I remember years back when I was still in school, when I had so much time to do whatever I wanted to do. Those years I always traveled home from school to celebrate every holiday.
I always look forward to every holiday because it’s a period of joy, relaxation, fun, so much laughter, and meeting friends and family members I haven’t seen for a long time.
The Christmas holidays are my favorite holidays because the house is always full, aunties and uncles, sisters and brothers, cousins, nieces and nephews, everyone is always around during the Christmas holidays. There is so much energy and it’s always spirit-filled moment.
What I enjoy the most is the different delicacies being prepared and the giving and receiving of gifts and also the numerous activities to attend to, from marriage introductions to traditional marriages, weddings, naming ceremonies, or traditional games often held in the village squares, and also the gathering of kinsmen to thank God for a successful and prosperous year.
