xmas1         I don’t know if it is just me or I just not feeling the Christmas here in Ghana. You know all that fun and excitement Christmas brings at the beginning of December. BOOM! All the so many nice things in town. Hey, don’t forgot already what Christmas really means? I know, ok? Even if you don’t ‘enjoy’ and ‘feel’ this Christmas, it still doesn’t do away with the real reason for Christmas: the remembrance of the birth of our Lord some two millennia ago. Now, that’s a special reason to reflect on and smile all through the festive season. Then again I ain’t feeling the festive part of the season. I wish yours is well.

             Do you know why mine looks a bit boring; I don’t know if you all heard there’s elections in Ghana. Yep! That’s why I’m from, I reside and I stay. I love it here. You know what they say, home is always home. For me Christmas here is ‘Politmas’…in otherwords filled with politics. They don’t even allow the Christmas songs to play on radio all through the mornings, those damn radio presenters, my bad!  One bit of Christmas carols and then it is all political talks, and campaign slogans and songs.  I like politics, ok? I probably would like to get involved in it SOMEDAY but hey, this one is destroying my festive season.

              I wish the elections ended on the 7th December but of course no candidate had the above 50% mark and so a run-off  is to be held between the two leading contenders 21 days from the first elections according to the constitution. It’s interesting knowing tha at least we’re going have a new presidential face, the incumbent president’s term is ending this year. YOU SEE, I’m even talking politics. Ok, what do you want me to do? Go out and have fun. Yeah, pretty good idea though but trust me you get to town and then it is flyers being distributed about the candidates. This thing would have been cooled if it all ended earlier…but everybody right now is ‘feeling’ political and not ‘CHRISTMAS’

                Hey but I honestly would enjoy this Christmas personally in my own little way…there’s also the family gatherings, the neighbourhood folks, friends and the parties, matter of fact I even have on to go to tomorrow… :) Hey,  tell me how your Christmas is looking like and I hope at least yours is festive. :P :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
