So this morning, one woman 'accidentally' hit me with a sack of tomatoes; because I was in such a hurry, I hardly heard her apology, I just flew past her and my thoughts flew with me. It's almost Christmas and a lot of tomatoes will be going from sack to stomach in forms of stews, sauces, soups, jollof rice of different sorts - the tasty, the overdone, the underdone, peppered beef, ponmo, fish... etc. (Gotta shut up now, mouth is watering!) One would think that cos of all these foods that's coming our way in about 2 weeks, everyone would be wearing a smile and welcoming the Christmas spirit with arms & stomach wide open; BUT no that doesn't seem to be the case! I don't see my friends being festive at all, heck! I don't see ME being festive!
A buddy said he's still hustling and if some good comes out of his hustling, maybe then he'd be in a festive mood. Another just doesn't care if it's Christmas or Father's day, she's running away... from her husband. Looks like end of the year is not so festive for many - friends are splitting up, hustle is not yielding fruit... did you hear about Julie who lost her husband days ago after he danced to Gangnam Style? End of this year is definitely not festive for the poor widow!
But hey, amidst all the gloom we need to cheer each other up! I mean, aside from the fact that it's that period again when we celebrate how much Christ loves us enough to die for us, we also mustn't let ourselves be put down...
Here's sending some cheer your way:
Lol! Now I made you smile, right? Be festive, people... but hey, don't mix alcohol and Gangnam Style - I'm not sure that would be a great idea! xo
