Kids today have no idea about the hustle of yesteryears. To them, soda and chicken are just any other items on the dining table. Back in the day, a bottle of your favourite soda and a plate of rice and chicken were a near-heavenly experience, complete with donning new clothes.
The real Christmas starts on the night of the 24th after the church service. On that eve, your eyes would hardly close. The thought of mouthwatering food, new clothes, and soda was all one needed to stay up all night.
Christmas was (and still is) about sharing, love, food, family, and new clothes. Chicken plays a central role in Christmas feasting.
Families that couldn’t afford chicken any other time somehow found a way to purchase chickens on that day. The news that somebody could not afford chicken was met with great sadness. The process of getting ready and preparing the meal was not a chore but a joy; love was the major ingredient.
The feasting was characterized by music and dancing. The party went on all night until the 26th. Days after, the most trending stories would be about how one “ate” Christmas. So, how will you “eat” your Christmas?
