Compliments of the season
Christmas will soon end tomorrow at midnight and the new year will pop up on Wednesday, which gonna be another season of celebration in the world. The new year 2025 is on the verge of coming up and celebrations and holidays will come. So many institutions are on holiday because of the festive season we are into.

However, I'm enjoying this season and the holidays too, because I like my loved ones to stay back home so they can help me out with two things and stay around to keep the house busy with their mouths 🤣.
My holiday will end when I leave for service; for now, I'm still enjoying my Christmas holiday, eating, drinking, and enjoying the holiday the way I could, in fact, in a grand style. I make sure I utilize it to the fullest. Just this evening, my siblings and I stepped out to the Akwa Ibom Christmas village for Jesus' part. It's a party organized for all the Christian youths in Akwa Ibom State but both youths and old men and women came to witness the event. Thousands of Akwa Ibomites filled that place, and it was compacted and well-celebrated. It was all about Jesus Christ.

We are going to have it again on the first day of the year. See the power of holidays. You can go anywhere and return at any time without affecting your work on the next day. So, too, I still have a few days of my holiday, and I want to maximize it to a greater one, not just an ordinary one but a holiday that I will be remembered for. Seasons vary, and holidays vary, too. The holidays I had last year weren't the same as this year's. Meaning life is in stages, as I grew up, I learned in many areas. Holidays are for fun, even if you don't step out for outdoor activities, you can utilize that opportunity at your home, by engaging in activities that will bring fun and laughter to you, and you will learn new things that will expand your knowledge and your skills, this will bring joy, happiness your way.
I chatted with one of my friends yesterday and told him where I was heading to, in the evening; he was like he hadn't for a while and had fun with friends, even at home. This is a young doctor, I might understand him, maybe because of his medical schools or studies that haven't given him the chance to be free with others and to have the necessary fun.

However, after the New Year celebration, I still have a few days for my holiday to be over. Our NYSC registration will kick-start, and once it's started that's when my holiday ends, I have to put things in place ahead of time and get prepared to leave my state for another state, where I will learn, make new friends and experience life and many more about NYSC orientation, which I pray for God's strength, Mercy and Grace to see me through.
