Special season greetings to everyone on this platform for your show of love and concern. Its been a wonderful time sharing and reading other people's experiences on this beautiful platform. My unreserved gratitude goes to the entire management and everyone that contributed in one way or the other towards making this third edition a reality.
Talking about favorite memories in festive seasons like this hmmmm this could be a difficult thing to categorically hand pick a particular however I would try and share some memories. After I read through the prompt topics, I started wondering how to attack this theme because remembering a particular event was difficult for me. I might not be able to figure out the exact memories during my childhood but let me try to share one that is associated to this season of Christmas.
One of the most celebrated moments in life or in a year generally is the Christmas season where families and loved ones exchange pleasantries whereas others take it as a moment of reviewing their relationships or covenant however whichever be the reason everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Most memorable events are associated with trends of things some are positive or negative.
I would like to share this particular experience even though it wasn't the best anyway but when I sieved through the series of other things I found this very important and perhaps would strike a little chord to someone. It all happened during one of the Christmas seasons when I came home with my parents, my other siblings were much available to celebrate the Christmas of that season. My mother was the one in charge of the meal.
She took her time and energy to prepare meals for the family and special dishes for the visitors that would be coming. We slaughtered a particular kind of animal that I don't like eating but my mother decided to use the meat to prepare both the stew and cook the rice. Hmmm this was one of the worst experiences of their lives. Personally I refused to eat because it doesn't make sense to me. I never liked it even for once. She could clearly read through my face. Suddenly she became so bothered the more after my elder siblings rejected the so-called sumptuous meal she prepared.
This woman attempted to gain back our hearts by washing the rice. Despite of all her efforts, it didn't resolve or make the rice to come out fresh again. What a Christmas for us.
In those days once is Christmas season, one is very expectant especially in the area of new clothes or garments that one would wear. When such clothes are bought, I can't wait for a Sunday morning where I can put on the clothes to show my friends how handsome I am. Christmas simply means having new clothes, new things to put on. As a child then I didn't know the mystery behind having good clothes always until I became an adult and got married. I don't train my children with the mentality of buying new clothes always instead I work assiduously to ensure that they learn the right thing.
Thanks so much for reading my entry. I wish everyone Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 🎄 🎁 🎄 🎁 🎄 🎁 🎄 🎁
