When we were little, we used to visit our neighbors and family friends on Christmas day. It was a common sight to see a pilgrimage of children in colourful clothes walking on the streets going from house to house meeting with friends. They are usually entertained with soft drinks and some chewables and then offered some money when they are about to leave. It was a wonderful experience on Christmas days then. When did this tradition end because for many years now, we no longer see this communal love during Christmas??

It's mostly the culture of lower social class in Nigeria. The rich kids don't do that at all.

Of course not in villages. Township kids then, it was all levels of the socio-economic strata. We don't see it in the townships these days.
