as a young lad approaching 20 >>> i see Christmas not just as a celebration of the life of Christ >>> but as a time to appraise and reckon how I have spent my year >>> what/how my behavior and paradigms impacts on the future I see for myself >>> as we approach the yuletide season >>> i wish everyone i've met in Nairaland a prosperous New Year ahead and many more joys in the journey of life we all are partaker of

to all religionists/irreligionists on Nairaland >>> feel free to drop your Christmas and New Year wishes >>> as well as your answer to the question
