Christmas Party: The quintessence of embracing family, friends and laughter in this season
Some have never experienced the warmth of a loved one on a Christmas day. They have no Christmas party to attend nor do they have any friends who will send them a text in this yuletide season, they are all alone, without friends and families.
Itās a cold world, there are those who will sleep outside in the cold under various bridges located in Lagos state as the privileged youths bounce from one club to the other in the vibrant city looking for fun. While some are seeking where they can lay their head at night, there are some who have no idea what tomorrow will bring. Hanging on by a thread and eating bread from the bin, he wonders what the Christmas season genuinely has to offer.

A teenage boy is suffering from a faux mental ailment due to his fatherās inability to buy him the latest PlayStation console. He is furious in his impeccable apartment located in a highbrow area in Abuja, he is infuriated that his parents do not embrace him as much as they do his other siblings. He throws tantrums, irks at the definition of Christmas, and refuses to attend the Christmas party due to the aforementioned inadequacies of his parents. Meanwhile, on the other side of life, some are minutes away from getting stampeded due to the harsh economy and turbulence that the most populous black nation is undergoing.
They have no idea where the next meal would come from, heck, they are unable to wake up in the early mornings of Christmas day because they are reminded that such a season isnāt designed for people like them- worn out, broken, they wince and scroll through their phones with tattered screens which is a reflection of their broken hearts, they struggle to find a meaning to life.
Christmas differs from person to person, for me, Christmas is simply a season to acknowledge that life is indeed beautiful and embrace what designed us for, love.
