So, we are in the season that we have been waiting for all year. The season of eating, making merry and sharing gifts.
Christmas is one of the most celebrated holidays in the world and plays a significant role even in the business world. Most businesses will try their best to get as much sales as possible. Customers are also not left behind as this is the season for multiple bonanza and give-aways.
It is also a season that most families come together to share in joy and reflect on the year.
For those with boos, it is a time to reflect on the progress of the relationship and partnership and to check if the relationship will enter into the new year.
For the booless ones, it is a time to reflect on the progress they have made and a season they can be tempted with loneliness.
Okay, whether you have a boo or not, reflecting on your personal progress is very important.
Christmas is not a time to commemorate dettiness.
Detty December does not interpret Christmas.
Christmas is a Christian holiday set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and as a Christian, it signifies the beginning of a journey into salvation.
The joy Christmas brings does not correlate with the interpretation of detty December.
Detty December can be used to express a carefree and sometimes promiscuous and extravagant period in the guise of the Christmas celebration.
At this time, most young people are as reckless as possible with the consequences of their actions waiting for them in January.
Activities done during detty December ranges from night parties, clubbing, reckless spending, more casual sex, and whatever activity that can act as a tool to heighten excitement.
Christmas, however, is not represented by what Detty December embodies.
With that being said, one thing both share in common is they express a merry period where everyone can take ease from the stressfulness of the year and have moments of cheer.
If you are close to your family and you celebrate Christmas, I wish you a merry, cheerful one filled with lots of meat, chin chin, and jollof or fried rice.
If you are away from home and you have friends to celebrate with, I still wish you a merry, cheerful Christmas filled with lots of meat, chin chin, and jollof rice.
If you are away from home, single and you do not have anyone to celebrate with, I wish you a merry, cheerful Christmas and comfort you can afford. Don’t stay stuck up at home, go out and have yourself some light moments. Unless you are too lazy to make yourself something merry.
Whatever a sensible merry is, have yourself a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New year.
