MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY
My favorite holiday is the new year holiday,well this isn't because it New year but for the fact that we celebrate our culture in my hometown. I'm from the eastern part of Nigeria.This always happen every 1st week of January in a year. Every indigenous people of my hometown travel down to the village to celebrate our culture,people travel from other states and countries to join the celebration.
Most people actually fix their wedding parties during this time because a lot of people will definitely be present, when coming, we will always come with lots of gifts for everyone in the family this goes from clothing,foods, jewelries and so much more.

After arriving on the first to our village (hometown) we would go round and say hi to various people ranging from our grandparents, granduncles and aunts, neighbors and old friends. We exchange gifts we bought for ourselves and talk about how the past year has gone and our it treated us. We also talked about how grateful we are to see another new year and also to see everyone alive even though we still get to hear news of people that couldn't make it like they died.
The next day before waking up we already hearing different sounds of our local music playing every where, people are getting prepared for the festival celebrations. We put on our attires and we getting ready to start dancing, jumping and singing down to seeing faces we haven't seen for a while. It is always a beautiful sights to behold and I sincerely love it.
Masquerades are always every where dancing and show casing their skills 😂😂😂

what makes it so special to me
- It really special because I get to see my aged grandparents again after a long time and I get to spend time with them
- I also get to go to the farm and see crops and fruits that we planted the previous year.
- I get to see my cousin that don't stay in the same state as I, we would always gist about everything from boys to neighbors and also school and work.
- I get to hear my language often
- stories of our cultures are been told to us and why we shouldnt go out late at night because of masquerades
- I also get to travel to another town to see my maternal grand parents since they are still alive.
- most especially I get to take good amd memorable pictures with my extended families and friends

I can tell you enjoy your holidays very much, my dear. These dates are an opportunity to meet again with family members you haven't seen for a long time. I am glad to know that you enjoy them very much.

It seems that we have something in common. On the New Year, we visit relatives, grandparents, and friends, but our NY actually occurs on the first of January according to the lunar calendar. Those traditional dresses that you wear in your country are awesome, and I also love the way you celebrate it by singing and dancing...so much fun!
Thank you for sharing, I learn something new today. Great post and good luck in the contest :)
