I am Kaluko Resper, a second year student at Busoga University. Pursuing a bachelors’ degree in social work and social administration. I frequently use the services of UDS, as I did a computer training course with them. Now I’m using their library for my revision as I prepare for exams.
I’m praying hard that the exams will soon be over, so I can start preparing for Christmas Day, which will be observed by everyone in our community, as well as across the country.
Christmas being a holiday when we celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ, we prepare for it in many different ways. For example, we buy new clothes that are different from everyday ones, so when the big day comes we are dressed up. We also put some money aside to buy meat (not a regular foodstuff for most Ugandans), maybe as much as 10 kilograms, soft drinks, different types of alcohol, and juice for the big day. It’s really fantastic because it’s only on that day that we can enjoy these types of food and drink.
In our community, as Christmas approaches everyone starts brushing their teeth every day with the aim of making them sharp for the day itself. By the time we get to Christmas Eve we don’t even sleep, we keep busy preparing different dishes so that on Christmas morning we can go to church. Afterwards we all sit round with our family and have a meal.
So this comes with loving thoughts to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year – heartfelt greetings filled with affection. May the joy and happiness of Christmas fill your heart with lasting gaiety and tranquillity, and each new day in your life shine with hope and joy.
Merry Christmas..
