Traveling to Warri is top on my list for this Holiday

The December holiday luckily coincides with my leave period, and after much work, I get to have some rest. So, today marks the day I'm officially beginning my leave (I was due for leave since November 16th, but work didn't permit me), even though I won't be surprised if work calls for my attention. I hope to switch off my phone most of the time to enjoy some quiet.

I seem to like my leave period to coincide with December periods, and for next year, I may enjoy some part of it also. December periods are known for holidays as students vacate and the populace generally wraps up work for the new year. The Christmas period is also much celebrated by Christians and Muslims alike, all in the mood of festivity.

Last year, I had the privilege of traveling to Delta State for the first time during the holidays. My brother works there, and unfortunately, I barely spent a week there. He surely made sure I was comfortable, despite his busy schedule. The WiFi was available, and what I loved most was his fridge. The refrigerator had a variety of goodies to consume, and even though I'm not the junk type, I made myself comfortable with them at least. He took me shopping also; I didn't buy much, but I enjoyed the outing. Another interesting part of my holiday was when I followed him to Sapele, where he had an occasion. I got to see a massive ship at the port after enjoying the view of military parades. I traveled by road and had the opportunity to interact with other passengers, get to know Edo State, etc. Though the journey was brief, I enjoyed myself a little.

My work people already have my leave truncated, and December looks short already, but yes, I intend to revisit Warri this holiday and complete my assignment at my brother's house. I remember being told I added small pieces of flesh when I returned from Warri last year. I hope to improve on that during this holiday, though not in excess. I have an uncle at Warri; I may visit him also, even though I know he'll come looking for me if he knows I'm around.

I am not yet decided on Christmas, though, and I may spend Christmas at Warri if nothing at work pulls me back. You know already that I would most likely have a full or half chicken to myself. In this life, try to be the last born or second to the last born, which I am. However, I would prefer to spend New Year's Eve here in Ilorin. I prefer attending the crossover vigil at my home church, plus, I'm sure my mom, sister, and brother would have missed me for staying away that long.

Rest will be my priority during this holiday, followed by good food. The movies can come in at my leisure time, and of course, Hive all the way.

Thank you for reading. I would love to have your comments and contributions.
