Batemye is so looking forward to his Christmas day in Kamuli............

MY CHRISTMAS DAY


I’m Batemye Derrick. I’m a P7 (first year of secondary school) pupil aged 13 and I live in Kamuli. I am doing computer training with UDS at the moment during the school holidays.  

I am eagerly awaiting Christmas Day on 25 December.

I am waiting for it because I always enjoy it.

On the day, first of all very early in the morning I say my prayers, I lie on my bed, then get up and bathe, put on my suit and go for breakfast.

For breakfast, our mother buys a big cake, and that’s the only day in the whole year that we eat cake for breakfast. After breakfast, we all go for prayers. During prayers, there is a choir who sing gospel songs.

Then after prayers we come back home, where our nanny has already prepared lunch. For lunch, we have chicken, matoke (a Ugandan dish made with plantain), rice, potatoes, soft drinks and so on. After lunch we rest a little bit, then we bathe again, and get dressed in different clothes.  Then our father comes for us and takes us to a restaurant. 

There we meet other clan members and family friends. We eat and dance until we get tired.

That’s all about my Christmas.
