There are festive periods but Christmas is of the most celebrated of them all, it's a time we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas time is always a happy time, a time we share with our family and loved ones.

Personally one of the most instresting thing about Christmas is family bonding time. My dad is the eldest among his siblings, his brothers and sisters usually come around, as our house usually serves as the family house whenever it's Christmas time. Those that are in the same city with us and those are far away would travel down to our place. It's always a very lovely time. Everywhere bubbling, no dull moment at all, even alot of children will be around disturbing everywhere, you will shout and shout before you know you start developing headache. ππ
There was a particular Christmas I can't forget, though I was very young then but the incident can't escape my mind, all families were gathered as usual so we went for a sight seeing at the zoo hmm... I need to take a deep breathe first ππ
Okay while everyone was playing around and seeing the animals enjoying nature, I was busy watching crocodiles it's my first time seeing it in real life, they were inside a kind of lake and so I keep moving close to where they were... when I saw the crocodiles not moving I thought they are dead, little did I know that they were just there disguising, thank God for one of my family members that saw me from a distance, he shouted at me not to move closer that I should run back immediately, God saved me that day, I quickly move backward else it would have being another story by now.. later I saw them moving it was then I realized the good God did for me.
After that year, I went to the zoo with my siblings but I was more careful with the animals this time...
Fast forward to this age where there's no more sight seeing in the zoo and Amusement Parks, everyone is now grown up. The last Christmas I can remember we went to have a good time in one of the lovely restaurants in town it was a well spent time with my people.
This year I don't think my family members that are far away will be coming around probably due to the high cost of things this days, things are getting very costly day by day. So one needs to the mathematics to avoid stories that touch.
Just of recent a friend was telling me that the transport fare to her state is now #25,000, double the amount it was last year.
So due to this everyone is just going to stay put maybe only those that are near would come around this time.
Nevertheless, enjoying the Christmas is very paramount. Because it's just once in a year, there might not be another time for everyone to gather like that till the next Christmas, so I had better enjoy every bit of it.
In addition, asides my family that I would love to see around, another thing I'll also like to have for Christmas is moneyπ° yeah and alot it it. Things ain't smiling anymore especially in this part of the world, Nigeria. To have a good and remarkable Christmas, one has to possess money at least to some extent.
I hope we all have a very good Christmas and a happy new year in advance. Blessings π₯°π₯°
