Oh yes, Christmas it is. After weeks of preparations, buying and buying, pestering and pestering, that day is finally here. Merry Christmas from me to you, and a prosperous new year ahead.
This Christmas seemed one of the (if not) most lackadaisical for me in terms of celebration. While I hold the reason for the season very high, the celebration was not something I looked much to. I just hoped to see that day and celebrate it in the best way I could. I came to realise that it was a similar narrative with many others here. Or maybe they were just deceiving me with memes - chuckles. Nevertheless, I am glad to be a part of this great and auspicious day in the history of man, which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ; the saviour of the world, to come, die and redeem mankind to God. How the Christmas day went? Please be my guest.
So we woke early as usual for morning devotion where undoubtedly we read concerning the birth of Jesus from the scriptures. Words of admonishment were administered concerning this great day and its remarkable duty in our lives. After which we prayed and set out to prepare for church service.
I had my Christmas graphics design flyer ready so, I saw the time right for me to share it with the world. That morning hour I had it posted on my social media platform. Done with that I got myself ready for church service.
Designed by me!
Compliments of the season
At the service, my reverend preached on the topic "Celebrating The Good Shepherd". He explored it through the several scriptures that were opened and read to bring in view the topic. He made several points about Christ being our good shepherd and how we too ought to be shepherds to our loved ones; be it as a father to his family, or as a mother, whatever the case. It was a good time in God's presence with fellow worshippers. And after the service I went straight home.
Back at home, without even taking much time to relax, I led myself to a treat of the Christmas goodies. And delicious was it. After such a treat one should be expected to relax and wait for it to digest, yes I did just that.
I guess you might be expecting to hear that after such a rest I went out and did this and that, met this one and that one, well I did not. For some reasons I always find Christmas day a day for me to just rest and be calm at home. We do the connections and visitations the next day - that was the pattern for me for some time now. While I was expected to meet up with a friend or two, I could not as I was kind of busy with some stuff. So I hope to go out tomorrow, meet up with friends and have a good time in this joyous season. Maybe attend some organised celebration and activities as well. Let us see about tomorrow then.
This guy though was a good companion
Yeah it was
Yeah, that was how Christmas day went for me. Boring huh? Maybe I will do better, if you think so - haha. Once again, Merry Christmas to you! Remember still, Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. Hope you a had a good Christmas day celebration?
