Things my Dad didnt teach me about Christmas.
Many years ago, i was a little boy clinging to my Dad Abel Ekene Snr, as we walked together to attend a Christmas service. My Dad told me a lot about Christmas but there are things Dad didnt teach me about Christmas.
Dad never told me that Christmas was a time to drink and get drunk.
Dad never told me that Christmas was a time to have sex with whoever is willing.
Dad never told me that Christmas was a time that is about a ‘party’ without Christ.
Dad never told me that in Christmas, it dosent matter what you do as long as you ‘enjoy’ yourself.
But…
Dad told me that Christmas is a time to love.
Dad told me that Christmas is a time to be selfless.
Dad told me that Christmas is a time to reflect and review our life.
Dad told me that Christmas is a time to draw close to God.
Yes…
Things are different now. I guess Christmas has a new meaning that Dad didnt tell me his dear son, Mfon Ekene!
