*IS THIS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMASING?*


Is this Christmas christmasing or should I mind my business?

I recall how it used to be when we were kids, our parents used to buy our Christmas clothes between August and October, and as usual, it would be oversized because they expected us to wear it till the next Christmas. We used to grow into our clothes literally.

Then the bangers

The Christmas bonfires

The visiting and the visitors.

Exchange of food.

I recall when my mum would give me a basket full of plates to take to one of her friends, and it used to be a competition of who cooked first to give to the other person. Then our house will be filled with different plates of rice and stew having different aromas and tastes.

Then I became an adult and then a parent and the sweet things of Christmas began to happen at my own expense and Christmas stopped christmassing because for every item I have to calculate the cost.

Truly, like they say, it’s always sweeter when the bill is not on you.

In all, let us understand that the reason why we are celebrating is to mark the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Let us talk about him this season. If you have money then tomorrow is Christmas day, enjoy yourself and praise God. But if you don’t have money, tomorrow is Monday. Eat what you have, stay at home, read a book, and draw up your goals and plans for 2024.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Bingo on the lose

Image
My people, I was taking my daughter to school when I heard sounds of feet behind me and a man making a call signal. I turned to see what was going on, only to find a correct dog right behind me. Hmmmmmm my mouth opened on its own accord, next thing I knew, doors were flying open because the way my screaming pierced the air, ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The man started apologizing profusely, saying the dog just took off the minute he opened his door. And everyone went into their rooms as per, normal occurrence. Since I set foot in the Dublin, I think dogs are dragging numbers with humans. Everywhere you turn, someone has a dog and you need to see how protective they are about it. They smile and tell you 'Don't worry, he/she is friendly and loves to play' Then they pause with their dog and wait for you to rub the dog. It's considered impolite and somewhat rude when you don't. I opened the lift today to find one gigantic dog and the owner staring it me. Semi human and sh...
