The Diary Game 1/12/2024...|| Harvest Day!!|| How my friend's Dad played her Dirty!!!

Hey Steemians, how are you all faring today? Welcome to Santa Month. The dry, cold, and dusty atmosphere gives us a Christmas feeling.

As we are all aware today happens to be the first Sunday in December and as Nigerian churches we love to organize a ceremony of gratitude called the "HARVEST TIME" That time in the last month of the year when Christians bring gifts, items, and monetary giving as an act of gratitude to God. Your amazing writer here got an invitation to attend her best friend Erhun Omoridion's church harvest ceremony. So yesterday I got a message from my friend informing me that her dad has an invite for me and some other close friends. I was surprised and wondered what was up, that her dad had something cooked up for her.

Upon arrival, the program agenda was shared. The Thanksgiving ceremony commenced after the service as we danced and gave our Thanksgiving offerings.

Now the part that every Nigerian guest loves the most about a party is the food menu! menu!!

at this point, we were asked to leave the church building and assemble at the tent house. Just then my best friend Erhun was announced as one of the high-table spokespersons for the ceremony, while trying to unravel what was happening, a message beeped into her phone screen, and alas! it was a speech forwarded to her from her dad, reading through she felt he sent it to her so she could read through it while he spoke, Just then a call came in from her dad 10 minutes before she was announced realized he was outside, as she picked up he asked her to come outside with her friends to the car park, we all rushed to meet with him wondering what all this was all about. As we met up with him, he winds down the car window and said "Hey darling, the speech I sent to you came from your sister and her husband in the UK, you will be delivering it as you sit on the high table when its family time, I won't be available as I am off to the US for a meeting happening in some hour time, I am glad your friends made it, they will be your support factor, enjoy yourself baby girl" we all looked at him in shock as he winds up the car window with a big grin on his face. We all turned to look at her "Damn girl your father just played you dirty" in Gen Z terms. reading through do you understand the whole scenario now, The Old man knew our friend had no business in the church and would leave without taking the speech once he left, so he made her invite us to keep her in check for the speech.

Anyway nothing spoiled, we went back to the ceremony, my friend gave her family speech and took pictures with the other representatives on the high table as they cut the cake.

Finally, at the end of the ceremony, everyone came out to drop their Thanksgiving items, took pictures, and danced. when it was 3 pm, we ordered rides back to our respective homes. Looking exhausted upon arriving home, I knew I had to share this memory with everyone. Enjoy while you read through.
