Celebration

Every one wants to be Happy. And in sharing this happiness,most people just can't hold in, there by , celebrating their wins and the source of their happiness.

Celebration method differs from the other. Some people might decide to celebrate openly while some will just do it with whom ever they choose .

Personally, I prefer celebrating with just family and few friends. Only exceptional cases. You know there are some cases where you can't really say ,only your family decides...they help you insist on how your celebration should go in a typical African home.

Hence,when things go well in your life, their is need to celebrate . For me , even if it's just a simple means.

Just like when people get married,most times people are more excited for the party after the couple have tied the knot.

Especially,in a typical Nigerian home.Every mother or father will want to celebrate their children's Union in their own style mostly in a grand way. While some will just do it in a portable way...with no much guests and all . This is one of the most happy, emotional and romantic celebration ever which leaves good memories.This depends on the circumstances. And they can only pray for a happy new home for the couple.

The couple then celebrate anniversary as they keep growing together. Some people might re new votes and celebrate too .

Also, people like to celebrate their birthdays. Birthday is another form of reminder and reflect about ones life. How far one has come in life, successes ,loss , mistakes and more.

Birthday reminds us how God has been merciful and how his protection has been our source of life. Some people celebrate big especially if the age is a solid. From children to adults. They celebrate in an elaborate way the following years:1,3,5,7,10,13,14,16,17,18,20,21,25,28,30,35,40.... Birthdays. Others can choose to celebrate in any other way all depends tho but the ages listed above are the mostly celebrated.

There is also academics celebration. After a long and challenging school life . Some even find it difficult to gain admission to tertiary institution .when one finally gets a decree people tend to celebrate this too. With family, friends...some even do it in a grand style especially if the journey was though and worth it.

In addition, people celebrate the birth of a child in their family. Especially for new couples, they celebrate their bond of joy . In the child's naming ceremony. This is one of the most emotional,and joy filled celebrations ever . As it has to do with a new life and family member. This child birth has really played key role in a relationship.some people can't survive in a relationship if their is no child. And some are not previledge to bare children.

Some people celebrate promotion from works too . This makes people happy to know their financial status will change for the better and they celebrate it to the fullest . They even do some give aways which is an interesting part and where I like to be , you know,so I can also tap from the give away. Also,the celebrate their companies partnership and their anniversary. Some also celebrate retirement as they do a farewell party for them.

Some people also celebrate death, sounds so ironically, but so. This happens especially when the person lived well and long. Like 90,100,120 and so on. And also in form of rememberance .

Not to forget,some really close friends do celebrate friendship although this is not so common now. They count it as friendship anniversary.

Well, all this is to remind ourselves that at some point in our lives we should see reasons to be happy and celebrate in our own way . celebration doesn't mean you are unserious or you are a sinner .it's a form of appreciation of the success you have acquired. You know , not Everytime over serious face and too focus fellow. So count your blessings and find the one you want to rejoice with first .

Over, out .
