Christmas: the reason for the season

Hello everyone, merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance!

As we all know Christmas Day is a time of joy, reflection, and also celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. As we have gathered with family and friends in joy I’m sure we all remember the deeper meaning behind this festive occasion.
As we celebrate today, I want us to take a moment to appreciate the gift of togetherness, relationships, and the joy of giving. This is the best time of year when people come together in love, the atmosphere is also different and this year is not different.

Today, which is Christmas Day for me, began with giving thanks to God for His mercy and grace in my life. After that, I helped my partner in the kitchen by prepping the vegetables she would use to make fried rice, as she was planning to make jollof rice first. I also assisted her in placing the chickens that had been marinated the day before into the air fryer oven. I also cleaned the bathroom while listening to music, and after that, I spent about an hour doing some exercises with my dumbbells at home.

The jollof rice was ready quickly, and she called me to taste it. I tried it, and it was delicious!
After the jollof rice, she went ahead to prepare the fried rice while I was making sure the chicken didn’t get burnt. In no time the fried rice was ready and it was delicious also.

I went ahead to help her wash the items she used and also cleaned the takeaway packets we would be using to give food to family, friends, and neighbors. This might be surprising but I couldn't leave everything for her alone. After doing this, she served the food while I covered them with their lids and added chicken and spoons to each one. Once everything was well organized, I went ahead to distributed them to everyone around. After that, it was time to clean the kitchen and other areas, and we did it together and rested for a while. After resting for a few minutes, we took a bath, played a little, enjoyed the delicious food she had prepared, rested again for a bit, and then I told her to get dressed so we could head out to see a movie at the cinema.

We were both ready to head out to the cinema, so I booked a ride to take us there. When we arrived, I purchased the tickets for the movie, along with popcorn and water, and she decided to get shawarma as well. However, when it was time for the movie and we entered the theater, we realized it was full, and there were no seats available. We went outside to file a complaint, and they attended to us, asking us to wait until 4:20 PM for another showtime in a different theater. Since we had already paid, we had no choice but to wait. We found a spot to sit and spent the time laughing and chatting. When it was finally time for the movie, we went in, and it was a lot of fun. We laughed throughout the entire film. It was very interesting! After the movie ended, we booked a ride back home, and we talked all the way, which was enjoyable. We both had a great day today, and I’m thankful for that.

Overall, it was a memorable day filled with laughter, love, and good company, and I can’t wait for our next adventure!

Thanks for your time.
