ReplyDeleteThe disco lights, the knock outs, the obodo oyibo cousins that came back with their Candy na ere eze!, playing in the sand, eating togther with my cousins from a big pot of food, Playing dodge ball, going to watch Iwuanyawu International play foot ball, Eating Aunty joy's ugba and anu ewu, running around in the sand, being young wild free and o so innocent! That was the best ever! seriously my best It was the best time ever!
We had this big family reunion and all my oyibo cousins and aunties and uncle were there. They were all doing seme seme forming oyibo and speaking supri supri! My brothers and i tricked them all and obtained all their dollars. We were such little 419ers...hahaha Silly kids thought we used dollars in Naija too. when we'd go out 10 naira biscuit or 20 dollar knock out we'd collect $1 dollar from them. Thats paying $150 for a 20 naira item...hahaha

-1st prank they pulled on me. they told me their neigbour's name was Cruella De Vil and i should address her like that when i see her. I didnt know who Cruella was o! Rem i was from the village.One day the old white woman came to the house na and they told me to go say hi. And i was like Hello Cruella De Vill welcome to our house. You should have seen the woman's face! she reported me na and my cousins denied my life infront of their mother..smdh. I suffer for tose children hand o! lol

=))º°˚˚˚°ÂºÐ½aĦaнaº°˚˚˚°Âº=))! I still live in Nigeria though buh my best christmas was definately wen i was much yunger.we always looked forward to wearing our xmas cloths and not doin any chores at home buh play all day dats wen we didnt travel to the villa.i remember one xmas wen we(myself,my sis and two of my neighbours)went round our compound very early on xmas day dancing and singing to each of our neighbours and knacking kom kom as our drums,dey wer so excited dat dey dashed us money and we bought banga with it ,we wer so happy*smiles*

Now i spend most of my xmas in gratitude cos lookin back it seemed lyk all hope was lost cos evry one we called frnds deserted us including my so called uncles and daddy's relatives,d last time i saw my paternal grandma sef she dey ask my anty who i be*sighs*.nxt yr will be 13 yrs dat he left us and we know it is just God dat has been seeing us tru.

I also hang out a lot during the christmas period,I visit my loved ones, eat ,drink and enjoy myselfqq. Basically i love christmas period a whole lot cuz it always get better every year.
ReplyDeleteMy xmas was awesome wen I was a kid but since I grew up d celebration no longer entice me.
ReplyDeleteToo much Stella. Can't count!
ReplyDeleteNo christmas rivals the one when I was about 10...yeah.My cousins came from the uk to join our already bloated house.we were like 20 in the building but it was a 'carnival' everyday; for at least 8 straight days. Killing of goats and chickens with us kids watching the blood~ letting like an audience, is stil fresh in my mind. Food,fun,fights,gossips etc characterised our 'busy schedule'.My dad ordered a photo session by a professional to seal the memory.I always smile when I see the enlargement.We never came together like that again, but we ve remained connected since then.Christmas shouldn't be spend alone.The more the merrier!
ReplyDelete*spent

DeleteMY BEST XMASS WAS THE ONES I CELEBRATED WHEN WAS STILL A KID. ALL OTHERS ARE JUST NORMAL DAY TO DAY.
ReplyDeleteYes o best xmas was when I was a kid. The rest is usual day to me
DeleteMerry xmas to everyone.
ReplyDeleteMy best christmas were when I was a kid. We normally spend christmas in the village (Igbo things,hehe). I remember how we use to sing happily in the car on our way to the village. Nothing can beat the trill when eveyone at home rushes out to welcome us on our arrival, I rememeber how my granny use to shout and call on our neighbors to come and see o. Nothing beats the trill of launching those new cloths, shoes,socks,watch, eye glass etc to church on christmas day. Is it the sound of banger? Very trilling! And the delicious dishes prepared by all the women in the family. We always celebarate xmas together in our family house in the village. Nothing beats staying under the same roof with relations,uncles,aunties,cousins.
I loved and enjoyed going to the village square during xmas celebration to watch masquerades and all those ogene boys playing ogene music.
Nothing beats the trill when the masquerade is pursuing us and we run into people's compounds or shops and be booing and making fun of the masquerades from inside the house. I also love how my dad always use to invite the adamma masquerade and the ote-nkwu masquerade to come and dance and entertain us, it use to be fun! I love watching the football match organised in the village during xmas. It's always fun especially if my village wins the cup.
I love staying where my dad and uncles and older cousins are killing and roasting our xmas cow. I love when they allow us the children and teenagers to use the intestine,liver and shaki from the cow to cook perpper soup for everyone.
I love how we use to gather on 25th night and watch my uncles' wife who is the eldest and other women make isi ewu for everyone, I enjoyed how we all ate the isi with our hands direct from the mortar where the isi ewu was mixed. I enjoy the fresh palmwine that goes with it too.
I love when the gifts starts rolling in. I love that moment when visitors and relatives that visited call us the children to give us money, hehehe. I remember how mumsy use to try to trick us into giving her our money in the name of saving it for us,lol.
I love the trip to my maternal home during christmas periods. I love the way they show us off there and the attention,love and gifts showered on us by my mother's people. I love the visits to relatives and family friends houses during xmas.
The one I enjoy most is our harvest and bazzar day in the village church which is usually on the 27th. I love the thanksgivings, the way different families (both the ones at home and the ones who came home for the xmas) dance to the alter with their gifts. I love the bazzar sales especially some delicacies sold on that day like, abacha ncha,rice, ede etc. I love playing "try your luck" games on that day. Oh! How is miss being a kid. Let me stop here for now before I start crying.
These day I don't even notice the christmas like that. Don't mind my epistle people, I just went down memory lane.
You got me laughing..sound like you are from Oji River
DeleteNice.
DeleteBrought back so many lovely memories.
Kids these days are really missing out.
No dear, abum nwa Nibo in Anambra state. Tho I'm married into a different town.
Delete#Sobing, I wish I was born in a family like yours. All the same I am grateful to God for d gift of life.
DeleteUrs sweet die though I experienced something like urs but not to this extent.
DeleteAunty Stella what will you give us for xmas na

ReplyDeleteBest was the Xmas my dad woke every one up on Xmas day and the whole family played Monopoly all day and later in the evening, he took us out to eat. That Xmas was priceless n would pay any amount to see us all sit together n play just any game once again. Miss you guys.
ReplyDeleteThis would surely be my best Xmas, I'll be spending with my Dad for the 1st time in my life.
ReplyDeleteI'm pregnant this xmas so its the best so far even though I can't dance, or eat certain foods cus of my apetite, its still the best to me cus I'm going to be a mum #big smile#
ReplyDeleteThank You Jesus
Congrats, dear! Here's wishing you a safe delivery in the new year . God bless
DeleteMrs N me and you both o
DeleteMy best Christmas was that of 2013. I spent it with kids in the paediatric surgical ward.I got cardboard papers, coloured crayons,staples,ribbons and glue.I and the kids made the hats together.I got little toys ,biscuits and drinks.we all danced totether those who could danced and those who couldn't clapped on their wheel chairs.the most memorable moment was see a sick child give the best smile just cause I placed a paper hat on her head I was touched.at that moment I knew the reason for the season was touching lives no matter how little and putting smiles on the faces of others.
ReplyDeletehappy Christmas y'all.
I hope to spend this year's Christmas in the SCBU "(special care baby unit) they are a lot of babies who need TLC whose mothers are in the ICU or just incapacitated

ReplyDelete1997 it was for me; we went to my mum's village in Nkpologwu; cousins from everywhere came back, on xmas day we went to watch mmo(don't know the spelling), we ate and ate, my grand pa gave us fresh palm wine, in the morning my cousins and I would go to pick udala straight from under the tree, we went to uga, nnewi, igbo ukwu. I remember crying and telling my mum to take me to the street achebe wrote about where people fell down and broke their pots when climbing the hill, the fufu was pounded not the Lagos type, oha plucked fresh from the tree in my grand pa's compound. Choi, it was sweet that year.
ReplyDeleteBest Christmas was when hubby whisked me away to a romantic getaway. It had been a tough year for both of us but Christmas Day was the best. It was heavenly!
ReplyDeleteMy best was last year,with fiance now we are married,frnds and family it was so fun
ReplyDeleteMy best Christmas was in 2002, when my grandma had her chieftancy title. Adadioranma I of Amozala Affa, Udi LGA, Enugu State. She has 11 kids, 32 grandchildren then(36 now), and 5 great grandchildren(13 now). Her compound was like a small community then with almost all her inlaws present. Mad fun.
ReplyDeleteEvery Christmas is my best, i love the season. From the carols to the decorations, food , parties and Christmas village in Europe. Great season.
ReplyDeleteMy best was when my dad took us to Whispering Palms at badagry when I was 14. It was there I started menstruation. My sis and I went on a boat ride and she screamed, "yomi, you have injuries. Your white shorts are stained" I ran to my mum who was in the chalet with my dad and started crying. She sat me down and gave me a lecture. That Christmas was memorable.. Another one was in 2007. I had a major surgery in July and even slipped into coma, but God brought me back to life.
ReplyDeleteBadagry! My hometown

This will be my best Christmas ever. For the longest time I've dreamt of a Christmas holiday with my parents, siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews all under the same roof. This year, it is happening. Three generations of my family (our parents, my siblings and our kids) and all the in-laws. And God has been faithful to us, my parents just completed and moved into their new mansion so there's space for all of us and more. Our cousins from outside the country are also converging in our home for a Christmas party/house warming and it's always so much fun when we get together.
ReplyDeleteI came to this world three decades ago and to the glory of God, my parents, siblings that came before me and those after me are all still alive. We have grown, gotten married, had children...that alone is more than enough reason to celebrate. Father Lord, receive ALL the glory from the depths of my heart.
SDK family..Merry Christmas to us all. It's been a great year.
Dear stella,
ReplyDeleteReading through everyone's best Xmas, I think 2013 is going to be the best for me and my family.
I arrived at Heathrow airport on the 15th of August 1999 to study for my Bsc and in 2002, I graduated from university of Manchester where I met my husband. I did not work for a day while at Uni because my parent sent me money regularly. I planned to start my master in February 2003, but I realised I was pregnant before the end of 2012. I wanted to kill myself because my parent and my boyfriend's were strong Christians, when they heard, we were immediately disowned. I cried my heart out. My boyfriend was very supportive and we both got the shock of our lives when we realised we were expecting twins. My sister was the only one who helped out with money and encouragement.
We struggled a lot and when the twins arrived, (a boy and a girl) in July 2003. We called both parents to let them know of their new title ( grandma &grandpa) but they were not interested.
In a strange land with no experience, it was a very big struggle for us but with God on our side, we pulled through. On their 1st birthday, my parent were in the UK and I thought it would be an opportunity invite them around but they never showed up. I remember my sis walking in and I asked her "mummy nko?" ( where's mum) and all she did was shrug her shoulder. Immediately, tears dropped. But I realised that I had to pull though. Quoting to myself "tough times don't last, thought people do".
I got married without any family member from both my side except my sister who has always been there.
Fast-forward to June, 2013, my dad called me for the first time in 11years and told me he wanted me to come to Nigeria with the kids cos he was really sick and wanted to meet them. I was excited and told him we will be home for the summer break. He died before I could even book the ticket.
My family and that of my husband has decided that they want us to celebrate christmas and new year together in Nigeria.
So for the first time, I will be meeting my in laws on Christmas Day. I don't know what to expect. I'm happy that my kids will be meeting their aunties, uncles and cousins.
I hope it will be so much fun.
Anon 2:49, I love you already. You put to bed on my dad's birthday... Congrats.
ReplyDeleteMy best Xmas was last year 2012. Was in Labour @ dis xact time! Had my son 11:45 20/12/12. Was still amaze @ my pumkin thru out d Xmas season! Love u so much my pumpilicious!!! Kisses!
ReplyDeleteReading all this just made me miss my mom so much. I cant remember the year maybe 1996/1997 but it was a special christmas. My mom and dad we going through marital issues and he left us and set up came in his village, so we just wanted to avoid the whole village scene for that year so my wonderful mom who sacrificed everything for us (her kids) coughed out her savings and flew us 4 kids to abuja at the then nicon hilton for 4 days in an amazing suite with breakfast in bed, buffet lunches, afternoons swimming, formal dinners and just shear happiness without my sadist dad eradicating any source of happiness from us. Those were the good years before they reconciled and he brought his sadistic attitude bavk with him and the terror years were upon us again. Fastforward a couple of years and my mom passes away 3 weeks before my daughter was born so yes the best Christmas is yet to come for I shall give my kids memories to last them a life time just as my selfless mom did for us
ReplyDeleteAwww... I am so happy everything turned out great for you. I am sure you are going to have a wonderful time with tour family! I am just excited for you!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the various errors as you can see they were typographical and not grammatical errors
ReplyDeleteHow sad that we waste so much time in UnForgiveness until it's too late.....but sorry dear your parents were never good Christians cos no spirit filled believer will hold a grudge more so for your own child for 11 years.....I pray he made peace with his God in his last days and am sure ur mum too has learned the hard way......thank God all is sorted out for you all....just relax and be yourself
