My First White Christmas Experience by NikkyIvy(f): 2:48pm On Dec 22, 2021
Hello Nikky,

I love the pictures you have been sharing with us this season. But I just want to share this my first experience Of White Christmas with you and everyone.

As a teenager, I always loved watching or seeing Hollywood Christmas movies especially on Hallmark movies Channel. Its something I looked forward to every Christmas.

The best part was always the part they play in the snow, build snow men or when I hear stuff like; "its white Christmas!" I remember I used to wish we had snow during Christmas in Naija. I would have given anything to convince God to change our yeye harmattan to winter.

Anyway to cut this long story short, somehow I traveled abroad and it was a wonderful experience. All my mind was like; finally, I will experience white Christmas. November arrived, and the cold was okay. Snow came and I was waiting for the type I used to see on TV.

When December arrived with the snow, I just began packing my bags. The cold no be here! It felt like living inside the freezer. Infact it was worse. My heart nearly froze. It was under a thick blanket and with my heater running at full blast 24/7 that I realized white Christmas na Scam. It is fine only in the movies ooh. Infact, the cold made our cold harmattan Christmas feel like childs play. I could not even go out not to talk of building snow man abi woman.That was how my childhood dreams came crashing down on me �

I am happily back and enjoying the Christmas season and our local delicacies with friends and family. Our electricity is not stable but the weather is simply the best for a Christmas celebration and I am loving our harmattan season with my full chest.

The thing is that foreign media usually find a way to market themselves as having the best life while they market Africa as a jungle. Somehow, we have all bought into that stereotype.

You people should also look forward to your God given natural endowments in Africa, develop them to make life better instead of running to other man's countries to take pictures.

Snow and winter are the worst. They look cool on TV before I travelled but on arriving abroad I realized, both are just the worst! First of all snow is annoying to walk on and when it stops snowing, then begins to melt, you have to be very careful when walking so you don’t slip and fall. You might even be at the train station packed full with people, next thing na ground you go see yoursef. Also, when it snows, snow itself could get into places you really don’t want it to get especially if you are not wearing a hoodie or using an umbrella

Winter in general is the worst weather ever! Everywhere is very cold and it is like you are constantly in a deep freezer and na so you go dey pack cloth, sweaters and jackets full body whenever you leave your house. And while in doors, you better have your heater on and also so nice warm clothes else you might freeze to death.
