Christmas is always a season of celebration. It is a season where both the poor and rich finds a reason to be happy and celebrate.
During my childhood, I use to see christmas as one of the biggest period for celebration, because everything makes me happy during that season. But since I became adult, and because of how tough it is to become one, I had to consciously make my Christmas experience a memorable one. Even when I may not feel like celebrating, I always find a reason to do so.
For me my best Christmas experience as an adult is spending quality time with my families and friends. Especially those of your friends whom you have not seen for a very long time, or during the year.
I could remember one of the Christmas when I traveled to the village to see my grandma who have missed me so much and have been begging me to come and see her. I love my grandma so much, she was the one who raised me my was very young and still in school when she gave birth to me. I was her first grandchild and first in the whole extended family.
So I went to visit her in the village, then I was welcomed by a surprise. My grandma said she had a surprised for me and that she would not tell me till I come and see her for the Christmas. When I came back, lo and behold, it was my best childhood friends. I could not hold my excitement, I jumped to hug him.
Me and childhood grew up together while we were still in the village and we did everything together. It even go to the point that the villagers started calling us twins. We loved each so much. When we started growing up, boys started becoming man and we all went ahead to look for a greener pasture. My friend became lucky and got the opportunity to study abroad, while I went to the city to start a life, and since then we haven't seen each other again for years.
I became very happy to see my lost childhood friend. We laughed and made joke of each other about our childhood experience. We discussed about how life we have been going through life challenges and how we have been to overcome some of them.
Throughout the Christmas we were always doing things together, went out together, eat together and still played together like we did during our childhood. Even my grandma became jealous because I was even having time to spend with her again.
I had so much fun during that christmas and never wanted that experience to end, but you there is always an end to everything whether good or bad. The Christmas ended and we went our separate ways. Even though we never wanted that experience to end, we had to, because we still had other things in life to face.
After the Christmas we were still keeping in touch with other but it could not be compared to that one on one experience we had. It is another christmas and I don't think he would come. And me also, I don't think I would be traveling back to the village also. That is the impact of Adulthood, life happens, but that would not stop me for enjoying the Christmas the little way I can.
Happy Christmas to you all, enjoy the season.
