Season's greetings to everyone here, I wish us all a prosperous year ahead, this is another episode of #HIVELEARNERS weekly edition #hl-w41e2 which is " SEASON'S GREETINGS
Christmas is once in a year and it is a joyous celebration for the christians, and it is a season that we all celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
As the year is round up, I have made some plans for myself in order to make this year a memorable and happy one for me
On the 23rd which is on Friday, I will be traveling back to my village to celebrate the Christmas with my family and friends because it is a culture for us, every Christmas we gather in our village to celebrate
On the 24th will be the Christmas Eve, every Christmas Eve in our village, all the youth of the village will convey themselves at the village town hall and have a meeting on how to distribute foodstuffs to the widows, motherless home, the aged, and the chiefs of the community, we do this every year because there is a particular amount we always donated and the payment starts from January so that it will never be a burden to anyone of us.
After the meeting, we will all carry the food stuffs bought and started sharing from house to house, we do this in other to make them happy and put smiles on the faces, it is a thing of joy to me because every community we visit is like the messiah has come because it is not every that can afford most of the things, we share stuffs like rice, semovita, Maggi, groundnut oil, salt, Yam, Noodles etc. And they will pray for us genuinely and that is the amazing part of it all.
After that in the evening, we always arrange a spot for ourselves to watch movies and share popcorn and drinks among ourselves, after that we will chat with each other and ask how every one is fairing and exchange contact among each other, this is always fun because we will get to see new faces and get to talk to people that are older than us and people that we are older than, this gathering always brings togetherness among us.
The next day is the D- day which is the Christmas, we will go to church because this year Christmas falls on Sunday here in Nigeria and after church we will cook and share some among the neighbors and villagers and eat as well, we are planning to go see movie at the cinema on the Christmas day, so I will be at the cinema to see movie on the Christmas day and have fun.
The next day which is on the 26th of December is our village reunion, this is where all the youth will come out to have meetings together because some of us will go back to our base before the year run out, so we do have our yearly meeting every 26th of December, this is where we talked about the development of the community, what are the things our people are lacking and how can we be of help, and from there we always talked about the upcoming youth, how can we help them, some of them are done with secondary schools but no funds to proceed to the university, this is where we come in by supporting them. And in this meeting we do discuss about ourselves too, how can we help each other, what everyone is into and if there is any contract we can always call each other's attention to it.
On the 27th of December I pack my bag and go back to my base to celebrate new year, I only go to my village for Christmas and not new year.
Christmas is all about showing and showering love on each other, it is about fun and Merry, I wish us all a prosperous Christmas and new year in advance. I love you all.
