Topic Of Discussion - Christmas Traditions In Nigeria.
Nigeria is a special country and we can see that from the way we handle celebrations. Today we shall be gisting and chatting about the rituals we Nigerians normally do this festive period. From Christmas Rice to Christmas clothes, let us know your experiences! what excited you then as a child, and if it still does now.
Let Me Start!
In my house, we go out every 25th December to a eatery or an amusement park. The whole family! Sometimes we go out with my relatives if they are interested. We did this for a long time, I guess it was probably because i was a child, and I am saying this because I can't remember when last we went out on a Christmas day. We then reverted to Killing chicken and eating Christmas rice every 25th and spending it at home! Obviously that was boring for me Yes i did get Christmas clothes too but i was angry most times because my parents didn't support me blowing Knockouts!
Let the discussion begin....
