The most celebrated Holiday in my country Nigeria like i said is Christmas holiday
The holidays as we all know comes up once a year and its always every December, For me I see it as the time a recreation, a time were people return home, after a long period of absent from their families, or a welcome back of some extended families who are scattered across the basic geopolitical zones of our country. yeah, its always an awesome time of relaxation from hectic labors of the year to spent quality time with their families, friends, college and love once.
Christmas celebration, is a red color event and its a were people come together for merriment, giving of gifts, and basic expressions of love.
