Best Christmas memories. Hahaha š. Isn't that funny? I have lots of them. Because I have been lucky to have witnessed many Christmas celebration. But I will share this special one with you.
But before I start, I want to ask oh! Is it that I am the one mistaking or not? Did anything change? I don't know if anyone is experiencing what I am seeing. I noticed that Christmas is no more the Christmas I use to know. When I was a little girl, Christmas celebration use to be something else. Very sweet and adorable. We were always looking forward to seeing it. Infact you can even deceive a child in the month of March by telling that child that tomorrow will be another Christmas and the child will foolishly believe you. Hahaha š. It was so funny then. Ahhhhn! What good old days I only remember now. Sincerely speaking, I wish that I can go back in days to enjoy my childhood days. I really do miss those sweet, loving, dependent, and great childhood days. Do you even know Why I miss that alot? Then we had uncles, aunties, and the rest of them to buy us different Christmas gift. But today, I don't need to tell you the rest. Figure it out yourself. Hahaha š
Yes, least I forget, the topic of the day:

Best Christmas Memory
CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS AS A CHILD
One of my best Christmas memories that I can't forget easily is when I was nine years old and it was time for my aunt to buy Christmas clothes and shoes for me. Friends, if you see the Christmas clothes that was bought for me then. It was a cotton material that was bought. She took the clothes to a tailor to make clothes for me. Guess the style that was sown for me?
Long gown with gather at the west and with pockets by two sides, the pocket was meant to put the money collected from people for Christmas. Ahhhhn! If I get home without giving proper account of the money that people give to me as I go round, I will be in a hot soup. You know that kind of a thing nah. I will make sure that I move round from one street to another asking anyone I see in the street moving for ' happy Christmas' and some of them will be so kind to give me. Then the money will be brought in the evening. That was more like going to beg for money. But I have no choice than to do it. Because my aunt will tell me that I must make sure to get enough money from people so as to replace the money that was used to buy the Christmas clothes for me.
So, that particular Christmas as I was going round from house to house and from street to street, I make sure to also eat all the rice that was given to me by different people, and drank all the fantas that was given. By the end of the day, I look like a pregnant woman just about to go to labour room to deliver her baby. By evening I started purging. I purged all through that night that in the morning I had to take drugs to stop the purging. It was indeed an experience. You don't blame me oh! Hahaha š. We hardly see rich and fanta those days to eat and drink. It only comes Once in a year. So when you have the opportunity, you don't joke with it. But be ready to face the consequences just like I did. After that Christmas, I learnt my lessons not to eat everything that I see just because I may not have the opportunity tomorrow.
WHY IS THAT CHRISTMAS SPECIAL TO ME?
One of the major reason why that particular Christmas was special for me was the clothes that was made for me. The style was very good as at then oh! Not now. Of course you know that our children now will not agree to wear that kind of style today.
Secondly, I ate all the food that I ever wished to eat, though I was ill after the celebration, but it all worth it, because I may not get the opportunity to eat all that again till the next Christmas. Hahaha š that sounds funny..
