Yesterday at the market I was filled with nostalgia for my childhood days,it seemed those days had slipped out of my fingers while I was asleep and like magic I grew into a younglady in my late teens.
I saw kids with red wide brimmed christmas hats blinking light,it reminded me much of those toy guns back then that flashed light and order 'shoot' whenever one press the trigger and those fancy light blinking canvas that was always on vogue every christmas.
I remember far back the water guns,the water game toys,the speed toy cars that christmas seem to usher In.
And I asked myself; where are they now?
Back then when the christmas costume for boys aged 7-4years was suit and shoe,age 7-12years Fancy tops with jeans and boot/canvas.
For the girls it was those gowns that came along with matching cap and handbag.
Today its a different story.
Yesterday my Uncle had purchased suit and shoe for his six years old son but the toddler refused to wear it.
It is either jeans and all stars or nothing.
And so like a sheep my Uncle had complied,left and came back with the 'specials.'

For me what makes christmas special apart from celebrating christ' birth are the Children.
Those lovely kids adorned in nice neat clothes,having fun,requesting for 'Christmas gifts',throwing knockouts and all.

..
Happy Christmas
