My Christmas Experience.

Hi there, it is me again with another write-up. Feel free to interact with me in the comment section.
Well before I proceed, I want to say Merry Christmas ad happy new year in advance. I've always had it in mind to blog about this but I guess I always did do something else instead but going through my feed, I decided to FOMO and do mine also. As you read, may you be blessed.

I ran away from school like 3 weeks before the official closing my own excuse was that I didn't go home when others did. The main reason was that I was choked up with the expenses there and the environment was already getting on my nerves. I got home (Lagos) thinking it would be better but as soon as I got into the vehicle, it then dawned on me that all my friends are actually still in school and then did I knew that I fucked up.

On getting home, after spending like a week or so, and no plans for Christmas was coming in coupled with the fact that I wasn't feeling the Christmas vibe, I started finding out how several people are getting reading for the celebrations. On discord in the @cross-culture channel, I got to chat with some people about how the celebrations were coming up in their individual locations.

I got to chat with @selfhelp4trolls or @whatamIdoing who stays in Japan. According to him, he is Jewish so he has never celebrated the holidays especially now that he is in Japan. He said over there it is more of a dating holiday mostly for couples to go out. Since in Japan, Christians are scarce all they await is the Chinese new year where he will probably spend with his friends that are from Taiwan.

It seems the new year is a big event over there as the decorations are massive. Even though I knew that the religion in Japan was much, didn't know about Taoism. he also explained to me about it saying it is mostly about the flow of life (Yin and Yang).

His plans for holidays was to play games, visit some friends basically have fun and I guess that's alright

I also had a chat with @blezyn about how the celebrations were coming up. She is a Nigerian and stays in Lagos. Just as I was experiencing mine, part of me was kind of glad that the Christmas Spirit came in late in my City. According to our chat, the weather hadn't changed, even though some decorations were put up, the vibe was still not there. Hope she got the best out of her Christmas.

I also got to chat with a friend from the cross-culture group. He goes by "attentionneeded" and stays in Delta. According to him, "na who get money dey prepare" meaning if you really want to have a blast this holiday, get ready to spend a little. He said one of the indications that Christmas is here is the sudden increase in prices. Well, leave it to Nigerians to take advantage of any situation then later having to blame the government.

My Christmas.

Since I didn't have anywhere to go that day, I decided to spend it in my newly wedded sister's place at Iyanu paja. Gosh, I missed her food. I couldn't take pictures with her because I didn't know I would blog about it but we did take family pictures when she came the following day for thanksgiving service.

After the thanksgiving service, the choir mistress and I decided to treat the choristers for a job well done. This was my gift to them just to encourage them for a job well-done over the year.

My plan was to make sure they enjoyed themselves but as I said, the prices were all hyped and we had to settle with the amount available. although the guys played games (FIFA) what

I wanted to play was virtual gaming because I have never tried it out before. Since my mum loves cakes and Ice cream, I couldn't leave there without getting her something and trust me on getting home, that was the first thing she asked for.

From no plans to so many, I still have two beach outings one is tomorrow with @starstrings01, @k-banti since we haven't really met after our separation after our days in the poly where we met so we saw it fit to organize a meetup during this time. Also, I get to meet @josediccus who I have heard so much about I guess I have been secretly stalking his blog.

I guess that's all for my Christmas experience.

Thanks for stopping by...
Until my next post,
keep buzzing
I still remain Trojan...
