Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
– Frank Sinatra (let it snow)
That’s an irony, it’s not actually snowing in Nigeria but in the spirit of inclusivity, our readers far and wide, in countries that snow is falling and in countries that dust is falling or rain in fact.
It’s still Christmas and the song still applies.
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you feel my excitement?
I’m starting with a question, What does Christmas mean to you? I would really love to know. You can share it in the comments or you could just answer it in your mind.
We were all brought up differently, we’ve gone through different experiences so we can’t possibly think the same exact way. What it means to me may mean the exact opposite to you.
Christmas is my most favorite season/holiday. Even if the Christmas spirit here is dying faster than someone running from a rabid dog, I still love it. I love being with family, I love the movies, I love the songs, the carols, I love that it means Jesus, my friend and savior was born. I love how it makes me feel and I wouldn’t trade that feeling for anything.
I also love the chicken 😂
I wanted to share a Christmas story with you all today but I changed my mind last minute and decided to write from my heart.
I won’t leave you with a question, I’ll leave you with this word. Gratitude.
If you aren’t with family today, if you’re working, if you’re going through tough times and if today wasnt what you expected. You’re probably seeing a lot of pictures and videos of people celebrating Christmas or doing what you imagined doing. You’re seeing the matching pyjamas photoshoots and shouting ‘God when‘😂. You’re seeing the snow and the Christmas lights and still shouting ‘God when‘ . Remember something; Things won’t always stay this way. There will be a time you won’t even remember how you felt today. One thing I’ve come to realize in life is that there’s no situation that is permanent. I also have dreams , I have my moments and It took me a while to understand it but I finally accepted it and became my principle. What you always dreamed of, what you always prayed for, you’ll get it one day. I don’t know the exact day but it will come. Everything good will come.
Stay positive, stay prayerful, stay believing. The amazing God who started his wonders in your life will be there to complete it.
I’m sending you hugs and the biggest kisses. I pray God grants your heart desires. Next Christmas, share your testimony.
Have a merry Christmas and don’t forget to let it snow!
Ayokunle.
