Nijah!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:

Masquerade!

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!
