The Christmas Holidays is finally here, the period that we spend time eating palatable dishes, the pineapple-glazed ham, steak, roast chicken, the tender-grilled beef, the mozzarella & cheddar cheese lasagna, the baked turkey, potato salad, rice & peas, the sorrel drink, a huge slice of the sweet/Christmas fruit cake and to top it all off, a bottle of Chardonnay champagne.
We all take the Christmas season to spend precious time with our families. To share, to love, to be passionate and to show compassion, to mingle and to express. WE ALL LOVE CHRISTMAS, a white Christmas especially when the snow falls from the heavenly sky and drop on our faces, or the cool weather we experience clothed in sweaters, hoodies and pullovers.
The season is to reminisce on the birth of Jesus Christmas hence the name Christmas and we all do that some time during the period; going to church on Christmas Eve, singing Christmas carols or even watching movies that elaborate on the purpose of the season. The colors of green, red or gold, maybe white are what is used to represent the season, bright and warm colors. Bright colors that conveys a joyful and exuberant atmosphere and the warm colors to show the time of sharing, caring and loving.
I am sure that we all drink during the season, a few Smirnoff Ice, a glass of Henessy, maybe H2O, Yellow Tail Champagne, Appleton, Stone on the Rock, Smirnoff Ice Lemon Vodka traced with coke. For the light and HIGHLY RESPONSIBLE drinkers we might choose a vita malt, a Malta, a beer or just a coke.
We all get a minimal privilege during Christmas and that we do favour. We buy our Christmas clothes, scarves, colgnes and perfumes, gold and silver watches and shoes.
I guess we all wait for the GOOD OLD SANTA CLAUS to bring our gifts, the ones we wished for...OR maybe u won't get any because ur on the naughty list LOL!!!!!. We cant wait to get up on Christmas morning to search underneath the tree for ur gifts, the one with ur name on the tag, the one that says to u...a merry christmas, we unwrap gifts in our bed slippers and for those of us that have siblings we boast on them.
As the morning gets better, we cant wait for the Christmas dinner. The Door bells are ringing and guests are entering, we welcome them and mingle. WE ALL PAUSE AT THE ALERT THAT DINNER IS READY!!!. We quickly make our way to the table, we take our chairs and sit. Mom says John we u pray. John smiles and says, God I thank u for this delicious meal, for my frens and family, thank you Lord and a chorously Amen. We dig in and pass the bowls of dishes around the table taking the proportion of our choice. We eat and drink, smile and talk, stuffing our gutts to our desire. When we are finished, we all depart from the table and to the living room and watch Christmas Movies. We laugh and watch together and in our minds we can't wait for New Years Day, another huge dinner and a time of enjoyment.
