Homesick

Christmas in Nigeria would be so much fun right now!  I miss it.  Going from house to house, sampling everyone’s cooking; managing to squeeze a few Naira (our currency) out of the adults (guess I couldn’t do that one anymore); watching the  Mmonwu or Masquerade* pass by:

Talking with my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and whoever late into the night;  Going to the dozens of weddings and so much more.  Fun times.  Can’t wait to save up enough money to visit!

*Basically men in costumes that can represent a number of things from spirits, gods, ancestors or just plain silliness.
