XMAS IN AFRICA

I m back after a long time off blogging,motherhood is a very challenging job and the joy of caring for ones children is the joy of a mother.Christmas once again, i love the feelings of the Yuletide period,it gives me a lot of memories as a child back in Africa in those day,i am elated by my new outfit which i cant wait to display on the d-day.Nostalgia is an occurring factor which prevails in the minds of Africans in diaspora, when ever it comes to festive period like this and i am not exempted.In comparison to festivities in the world where we are now,i found out it s more fun to me celebrating Xmas in the ways which i knew from childhood (don't blame me) playing all night through with fire crackers,attending Xmas carol,visiting friends and celebrating, on the streets you see children singing in my neighborhood,¨Christmas dey come mama buy shoe for me¨,over here its a different world,the developed society have provided us with everything we needed,glittering Xmas lights and trees on the streets,gifts for children,fun fare .....the list is endless... but no neighborhood,no going to my neighbors to shout merry Xmas and eat the normal Xmas treat.
