When I was growing up Christmas was probably the most anticipated celebration because:
- That was the only time I get to eat rice and chicken in abundance.
- My parents always get me new set of clothes. We call it 'aso odun'
- I get to move around the neighborhood with my friends, checking into the homes of relatives, eating and drinking till we are filled, and gathering some serious amounts of Christmas gifts for our troubles.
As children, we enjoy Christmas much more than as adults. Maybe that's why, even when we grow up, some of us look forward to it with the hope that those times will come again
