The festive period

Funny thing about Christmas period is the feeling and the vibes from the surroundings, it is the time of the year when gifts and luxurious items are in the atmosphere for a grab.

It is the time of the year where every activities of the whole year will be evaluated and preparations for new year celebrations are made and in my case, this is also the time I come with new year resolutions, though I'm still a little undecided about this due to the way this year turned out😂

This year has been hectic due to my final year activities which has affected my preparation for Christmas. for instance by this time of the I just completed the chapter 5 of my final year thesis which is awaiting vetting from my supervisor.

Compared to other Christmas I have been celebrating from previous years, I have always made a significant contribution in the family celebration for Christmas. we all have our share of work. as the second son of the family my roles are mainly to obtain necessary items for the Christmas celebration. things such as any meaty substance e.g chickens, goat e.t.c

My family enjoy the raring of livestock such as chicken, goat, rabbit and catfish. it is this time of the year we would select which livestock should be used, in most cases, this process go through a family vote. the reason is that, the livestock we have In my family is a collective effort of every member of the family but it is owned by a specific member of the family. for instance, livestock such as chicken and goat is owned by my dad and elder brother. the catfish is owned by my mom, while the rabbit farm is owned by me.

The selection of which livestock to use depend on the growth and stability among the livestock. for example, last year the livestock that made the highest profit was the poultry, so we took majority of meaty stuff from the chickens. this year it is the rabbit farm which is controlled by me. we have already discussed the numbers of rabbit that will be used.

Though I'm not currently around to oversea it but it will be done by my dad according to my instructions. our celebration for Christmas is always epic due to individual contributions.

we will be having the celebration at the usual place and location, our family house at ikorodu. which has become a form of family tradition for us. I will eventually be at home soon but for now I still have some academic stuff to take care of, believe me I wish the case could be different.
