Greetings to you my amazing friends and steemians of our lovely community. Trusting God we are all doing great?
Thank you @suboohi for organizing this contest. There is this particular picture that always brings some nostalgic feelings each time I view it.
Kindly read through as I explain reasons behind me having such feelings.
This picture was taken 6 years ago and this was the last time I traveled to the village to celebrate Christmas with my people. Christmas in the village is always fun as there is usually a lot of display and entertainment from different groups. One of such entertainment is the traditional dance display at our village market square. Each time I look at this picture, it brings back sweet memories of home. I'm planning to travel home this year once again to go have a fun filled Christmas celebration with my people.
Christmas day always comes with a different aura. I always wake up feeling different. The excitement is always on a different level. I remember waking up with me singing several Christmas songs that morning. Went to my parent's room and greeted them. Assisted with house chores and prepared for church. After church I visited a few old friends who also came home for the Christmas celebration. I rounded up my visitation in the afternoon and decided to take a nap because my childhood friend requested that we also go participate in the Christmas traditional dance at the village market square which will take place later that day.
My friend came around 3pm and requested that I get set as the traditional dance has already begun. We were supposed to dress in traditional attires but since we didn't have any at that moment, I pleaded with my dad to give me any of his old worn-out clothes. He gave me the one I'm putting on in the picture above. I went to my sister's room to go get their make-up and design my face to look weird. That is how it's been done for those who don't have traditional attires. Despite the fact that I find it difficult dancing according to the rhythm of the traditional beats, I still enjoyed myself and had the best of fun.
We danced till around 7pm after which we returned home to bath and freshen up. After that, we still linked up again for an evening hangout around 8:30pm. At the evening hangout, we met with a lot of friends, some we've not seen or met for the past 8 to 10 years. We also made new friends there too. The hangout was really bright and colour and I can't wait to travel home again after 6 years of being away.
I'll also love @ibrahim @owulama @ashley-p to participate in this contest by sharing with us that one picture they would love to tell the story.

Christmas always come with so much excitement and celebration like the season we are now.
It is a period that we share love and exchange gifts with our family and friends.
So my friend I understand your feelings perfectly well and I know such memories can't be erased easily.
Best of luck to you
