Holla readers, it is another edition of creative writing on hive learners community, titled best Christmas memory. though I'm a little confused about which one to pick because I have had a lot of memorable Christmas, for the purpose of the write up I will be selecting distinctive Christmas memory.
As you all know Christmas celebration is a widely celebrated holiday across the world, celebrated in different forms, it is the kind of celebration my family cherish a lot. apart from all Christmas celebration I have had, there is this awkward Christmas celebration I had at Epe during family visit at my maternal grandmother's house. it was a funny one.
I was about 12 years old as at that time, my maternal grandfather just died so my family decided to celebrate Christmas with my grandmother in order to cheer her up. before then there was this tales of Christmas narrated to us by our grandma in order to keep us awake on Christmas Eve, it was about the story of Santa distributing luxurious gift at night. I so much believed that story but every year I was unable to stay awake because I enjoy sleeping at night.
But that year I was so determined on finding out and to satisfy my curiosity, so that night I set alarm on my dad's phone and I drank a lot of water knowing if I need to pee I will wake up at night 😅😅. fortunately the alarm rang at exact 11:55pm, because my grandmother told me the gift sharing starts from 12am, so I wanted to be punctual by waking up early 😅😅, so I went outside secretly to wait for Santa, I waited for about one hour but I saw no one.
So I decided to go back inside, on my way I saw this scary cat beside the fence, I never knew what it was at first until it heard my footsteps and turned around, the cat felt cornered by me and became aggressive, this cat chased me so much that I ran into the wall thinking it was the door, all my bone felt like it cracked, I manage to stand up, looking back I saw the cat just sitting there and from the looks of it, the cat seemed surprised by my stupidity of running into a wall😂🤣.
I tried opening the door from outside but the door was locked already, I started banging the door like my life depended on it, by the time the door was opened I was in tears already by the time I looked back the cat was gone, the door sound must have scared it away. there was bruises all over my face, my parent kept wondering what could have chased me so hard to cause that much damage to my face, I never said a word, I just told them I fell because I didn't want anyone to laugh at me.
I never said a word to my grandmother, I was so upset and I blamed her for what happened 😂😂🤣. I didn't say any word to her till we went back to ikorodu. I never forgot that night, the memories hunted me for awhile.
I know what you must be thinking, if anyone should laugh about this, you are in serious trouble 😂😅🤣.
Thanks for stopping by.
