I'm @utymarvel, a Nigerian
I am from Akwa Ibom state, the Southern region of the Country.
Christmas season is always the most anticipated time of the Year. It's just that time of the year where families and friends reunite, share and spread love with you families and the whole community at large.
We started this Christmas on the First Day of December. We have 31 local Governments in Akwa Ibom state and for the 31 days in December, each Local Government take turns to perform every single day at a place we Call Christmas Village.
In my small Village, Christmas is announced by the Different displays of Masquerades, both the adult Masquerades and children Masquerades. These Masquerades will go round the village playing with the children.
Asides Masquerades, children start playing and shooting a lot of Bangers , the streets trees are decorated with Christmas ornaments. Every where you go, Christmas songs will Serenade the entire village.
On the D-day, which is the 25th all the families will be hustling to the market to get food items. Large pots are used to make Delicious meals which will be eaten not only by the Family but with your friends and neighbors. There's always a lots of food and gift exchange on the 25th.
It's always an Interesting Time of the year.
