The birth of Jesus Christ

The Significance of Celebrating Birthdays

What is so unique in a Birth Day? Must it be celebrated?

I remember when we were growing up in rural areas, there was nothing like celebrations of Birthdays. Later, parents started doing parties for the young ones. This has escalated to big parties where even grown-up are involved. What is it that the word birthday carries with it?

Infact, some relationships are even breaking just because the friend didn’t remember the birth date of the friend. And when one remembers and doesn’t present a birthday gift, it’s also a big issue. What is so funny with a birthday?

Unfortunately, as if not to give the birthday the honour it deserves, some have used it as a way to get money from people. They do it not because they have the vibe to celebrate but as a business. If it does not bring good returns, you hear them complaining. Should we celebrate this special day-Birth Day? If yes, how? If no, why? Feel free to share your opinion.

How Coronavirus has affected the festive season

The festive season has come at a time coronavirus has become a thorn in the flesh. At Christmas Eve, there were many ways on how to usher the Christmas day. The tradition being joining the congregation at the church to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Others celebrate the same with their friends at home or meeting places such as bars. All having the same goal of ushering the birth of Jesus celebrations.

It is sad that the joyous moment will not take place this year. People have to stay at home to avoid being caught at the wrong side of the law. By 10pm, the curfew rule dictates that everyone to be in the house.

Then, will people sleep early? Not at all. Many have joined their family members and they will be following live programs from their favourite TV stations.

Those who enjoy taking some drinks have already bought enough to carry the day.

Whether in towns or country side, most people are well set for the festive season. But in town, some may celebrate it behind bars.

So let’s be careful and follow the guidelines given by the authority.
