What does Christmas mean to you and your family?

Christmas means different things to different people, but to me, Christmas is the period we are expecting our savior, Jesus Christ, to be born.

Christmas is the time I show love to my fellow human beings, like the less privileged, because it was love that made Jesus come to the world.
So I and my family members always try everything possible to show love, care, and cherish people.

*How do you and your family celebrate Christmas?"

My family and I always celebrate Christmas in our house.
Every Christmas with my family is always filled with many memories because we always visit many places in my state to have fun, and most especially, we make going to motherless homes on Christmas our law guiding us. My family believes that once the less privileged are happy, that means you have celebrated your Christmas very well.

Some of the places we do like to visit during Xmas season are our shopping Mall, where we go to watch movies, and motherless home.

Are the any special decorations, foods, or customs?

We always decorate our house with red and white, because white shows love and peace, we also put on white clothes to go out on Christmas day.

We also have special food, like fried rice and chicken, 🐐 goat meat pepper soup, and many other native foods.

On every Christmas in my state, it is always fun because you will see masquerade dancing on the road and some will be playing with little children.

What are your favorite memories from past Christmas celebrations?

I have many favorite memories from my past Christmas celebration because that particular day that was Christmas day, my uncle that returned from UK took me and my siblings for shopping, and I got almost everything I needed, and my cousins also came back and I have a lovely time with all of them.

Thanks for reading my post.
