There is no place sweet like home, most of us are no longer with our parents due to jobs and the likes, for the past eight to nine years I have been living on my own, living alone but my heart is always with my parents.
Celebrating this festive period would have been my best choice, Christmas is always fun around my family, it is a season to be remembered and I wish nothing would have hinder me in this Christmas just to be with my family but I was unable to do so.
Celebrating Christmas with my family is one of the kind, we always travel to our village and we also have different activities that always makes Christmas fun for me and family, traveling to the village is always fun, it is time to meet with old friends and also there is a carnival every year on the Christmas Eve, where the youth will dance round the village and put on the customized wear, this is always fun, there are lots of food and drinks, we always party till the next day.
Christmas is always the best in my village, on the 26th of every year, we always have our get-together where we meet with all the politicians in the village, we always talk about our progress and also help those who are still young and this is where most of the influential people distribute scholarship to the children in the village, this always comes once in a year and this year will never never be excempted.
I have been receiving calls from my friends that when am I coming home but I decided to stay back this year, I was scheduled for a program on the 24th of this month, so I had to cancel everything that has to do with traveling, I have it in mind to travel for Christmas but when I saw the program and it will be of great benefits to me, so I decided to stay back and attend, time and money is also a great factor that is holding most people back from traveling for the Christmas but my situation is a bit different.
I will chose to celebrate the Christmas with my family over and over again, there a lot of things to catch up with, the Merry, the bonding, games, and most importantly the Christmas food, Christmas food is always different from ordinary food, the combination of foods we always have on Christmas day and the way we always give to others despite they cook the same food in their houses, this tradition is always fun to me.
My plans for the Christmas is to go out with my friends, I have some new places to explore in the Capital city of my state, I have listed some movies that I would love to see with my friends and also have a great time together, my plans didn't work as I want but regardless I still celebrated the Christmas in my own way
As we close out the year, let's hold onto the memories we made, the love we shared, and the joy we found in the little things. Here's to a brighter, more loving new year! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance.

There is indeed no place like home truly and I believe that the place to be for the holidays is with my family. I bet you had a great holiday, wishing you a happy new year in advance.
We've been on holiday and my mom has been ringing it to my hearing that we need to go back home. I thought we all loved it here. Apparently for some people, there is no place like Home.
