Towards the end of this amazing year I can't say it wasn't because I learnt ,cried, and most importantly survived .I lost my father around August and would I say unfortunately the funeral date was fixed on the first Friday of December . Already you can tell that I started December with teary eyes and of course I had already concluded that my Christmas wasn't going to be a Christmas or festive season full of joy and enjoyment as usual .But indeed the reason for the season had another plan for me . To lighten my mood the first week after my dad's funeral my department organized a fitness session and tagged it as our continuous assessment and of course I had to be there if not for anything for the fact that it was a test and need not miss it, didn't actually expect much fun outta of it but trust me I did enjoy every bit of the training. Imagine working out with different songs and watching my lecturer who is a bit old workout made it more fun.
Unto the next my cousin decided that I became her chief bridesmaid for her special day which took place just last week Saturday. The experience felt nice and amazing . All I did was imagine myself in that white gown and traditional attire, of course who wouldn't.
Then immediately after the marriage ceremony I had a camp conference in church which is to last till wednesday. I had no reason to think about my pains this period as I thought I would. One thing I have learnt in this particular festive period is that Whatever happens Christ the reason for the season would never let you forget the main content of the season which Is Joy . So yes I found joy in every little thing I had done, imagine finding fun in a workout session ?.
Don't let anything ruin your Christmas. Find joy in the little things you do or engage in . If it means travelling home and you don't have money, borrow ! Go back home, go back to your roots and gain the strength and encouragement you need for next year .
If it's hair that you can't make, style your natural hair or opt for all back .
You do not have food , your neighbour go don cook one or two and can't be that heartless not to share .
Or is it Christmas cloth? Rock your old clothes with pride as far as you wash it and iron it. Trust me there are different ways to style one cloth .
Is it the death of a loved one? Let the dead bury the dead
And let the living praise the Lord
Let nothing kill your Joy this Christmas
Christ the reason for the season and Joy/happiness the content of the season .
Compliment of the season!
Abeg who don cook, invite me to your house or abi should invite you over to mine
Whichever way am in
Enjoy !
