Oh well, I will begin by saying that although we all look forward to this festivity, which I do, too, on the other hand, I wished it didn't come quicker. Reason? The faster it comes, the closer I get to be resuming school. And boy, i never ready. The timetable for the next semester only dropped hours ago, and I'm already exhausted seeing that classes would run from 8am-6pm daily. Kai!
I digress... but I just had to let that off.
Christmas is so much fun around here. The season is particularly special to me because I get to spend it with my family. Since growing and everyone having to deal with themselves and dwell in different regions for school and work and all that, it's the one time that we really get to enjoy each other's company. We get to meet other times in the year, but maybe not everyone would be present. You get?
Yesterday, my siblings and I made plans and made some contributions towards getting stuff for the house and even just talking about what we needed and how much was so much fun. It was all banter and laughter, and I thought how much more exciting the rest of the break would be.
Today, I and my mum went to the market to do some really big shopping. It's part of the whole Christmas shopping but I don't exactly like to call it so since we got stuff enough to last three months. And I must say, things are so expensive! From rice to oil to beans and to the new gold...onion, things are expensive. I watched the money in my account go from really high to almost nothing. I had thousands of naira in cash, too, but guess what, I got back home with just three hundred naira. To think that we're not even done getting stuff. But that's fine, cause, all is good.
All my siblings save for two are home already. The two should come in any time now, and we really can't wait to see them. My cousin is also coming to spend the holiday here. A friend of mine is, too.
They think we should hang out (my cousin and my friend), and although I liked the idea initially, now that the day is drawing closer, I'm beginning to have cold feet. Going out is my undoing. I might not be able to escape this one, this time, though, since I already promised a friend that I'd come around to the recreational park where she has a stand to come support her and to just hang out. I guess it should be easier since I have people to go with. Plus, I'm supposed to help this friend create content for her business. More like be the photo - and video-grapher. The girl behind the lens.
While I'm such that this Christmas would Christmas as always, I'm sort of occupied in my head with making plans for resumption and all. There's a lot to do and some adjustments to be made. There is so much to do in a short time. Phew! Well, when I get to that bridge, yeah? For now, I'll just focus on having swell moments and relaxing.
Thanks for gracing this post.
Greetings!
I go through this in Brazil too. It's really difficult when our country's currency is devalued. But still, I hope we have an incredible Christmas, it's great that even though everything is expensive, we managed to have dinner, right?
Oh! It rains everywhere then. It can be a sad and frustrating situation, but the fact that we always have food to eat is really great. I agree with you on that
Thank you!!
