Wow… my
blog mother just reminded me that today makes it exactly 12 days to Christmas as
she share that popular hymn we all love: Twelve Days of Christmas. I am supper
excited because I am just coming to terms with the fact that Christmas is already around the corner and more especially because no sooner than you know it, Santa
Claus will be in town, so you better watch out. (*SmileS*)
I had
supper fun this time last year touring the country – from Lagos to Akwa-Ibom to
Owerri and eventually to Abuja. One thing I enjoyed about the whole movement was
that I attended Christmas Carol in all these cities. The Akwa-Ibom Christmas carol
was the biggest, where a Guinness world record was set for the largest number
of Christmas carol singer in the world. The choristers numbers 25,272… Amazing
I must say. You can imagine what the arena felt like at the stadium when all the choristers lifted up their voice in one accord to sing hymns like Joy to The World, The First Noel,
O Come All Ye Faithful… I will leave that for you to imagine.
Oow this
year, a lot has changed. If not for the announcement made in church today about
the Carol that would take place today, I wouldn’t have had plenty hopes of
being part of Christmas Carol of 2015. I love the Christmas song; I love the
Joy that comes with the season.
I love the fact that it’s so sure that I will
eat lots of Chicken and possible some party rice as much as I want… heheheee.
Most importantly that Christ came to us – the significance means so much to me.
Will tell you about that later.
I must
go now, before I go late to the carol. Hope you attend at least one Christmas
carol this season… I am sure you will not be disappointed.
Cheers!
I haven't been to a carol in a while! Maybe next year...
ReplyDeleteSanta claus is coming to town? Sounds interesting.
Mami, Santa is coming already and you don't sound prepared, why naaa?
DeleteMy carol starts this week ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat! Sounds like a marathon carol.
DeleteHmmm mouth watering already...All I can see and feel about this post is the partying, meriment and the chicken things bros.
ReplyDeleteBro, all join ooo...lols, even though there are things that are more important than the merriment part that you have only decided to see in this post o. *SmileS*
DeleteSee me just imagining the carol at Akwa Ibom as I was reading through. I was looking forward to attending this year's carol at my church but I missed coz I had to travel. Its all good, there's always next year, God willing. Christmas is so near already. Enjoy the carol.

May God give you many many more years to be part of many Christmas carols as possible. The Akwa Ibom carol last year was wow... I even hear they are having another one this year again.
DeleteUgo, it's a blessing to be able to travel as you did last Christmas and spend such joyous times. Hopefully you will be able to do the same across the the whole of Naija one day after peace and security have been restored to the land.
ReplyDeleteMy present engagements kinda restricts my movement this season, if not, I would have been to Akwa Ibom at least.

Cheers!
