Compliment of the season to to everyone in this community and beyond. Christmas is a special event that is felt almost all over the world. There is one thing that brings the feelings of the season on, that's the change in weather. I noticed this immediately we stepped into the month of November there was this cool breeze that accompanied the month. Well! Am not so surprised because it's my birthday month and we are special so everything around us the November Borns have to project something special and extraordinary.
Christmas season is one that is marked with the extras so that why many people tend to follow the trend. It is a trend because even those that don't tend to believe in it just do things because they see others doing it.
There is this particular family whose place of worship does not grant them the liberty to celebrate Christmas but because of the kids trying to involve themselves with other kids are doing, they too just joined

There are families who have a special ritual for this season, mine is not part of it per-se so I will talk about my husband's extended family. Before I got married to my husband he told me about a yearly meeting that they normally hold in the family which had a little crack after the death of one of his elder brothers. I said ila crack because, people stopped participating fully in it and all that.
So the Christmas before the April we got married when I went to visit the family on that set date he took me to the mountain and showed me the place. I was so happy on seeing there and we came home. From that day it got registered in my mind, when I came I had the privilege to speak with one of his cousin who was one of the founders of that same meeting. I encouraged him and told him of the need to maintain the alter of prayer. No, first I sent a message to him through his wife, then when we meant he acknowledged but tried to push the responsibility to my husband which I said no.

On the long run he decided to use his position as one of the eldest to do something and that was how w began going to the mountain collectively again. It was a thing of joy because lots of issues were resolved in there.
This year's event is not so planned because at the moment this cousin I spoke about is hospitalized, he has been in this condition for over two months. On my part I have been asking my husband to ask around so as to inquire to know those who are set for this program. It is not one that needs much publication because it has been an ongoing thing. On my own part I will not be able to make it this time because I won't be traveling home cos at the moment am not so free for much interaction. But in all, it will hold because it has been a tradition for over a decade now and we need not to make much reminders too.
Having a healthy tradition which will promote unity and help people prepare for the coming year is the best that that which aims at showing up wealth and more. I pray that this year comes to you with much blessings and goodness.
