How I Celebrated My Christmas
by @rare-gem

I celebrated Christmas with my nuclear family, and it was fun, I must say. The food was delicious; I guess jollof rice and fried rice are the major foods for the season. We weren't left out in the culture of the food. Mom prepared fried rice with turkey which I enjoyed. Not only that, my mom prepared grilled fish with plantain. It's all food for me for Christmas; I ate several other snacks like cake, which I baked a day before Christmas.

My 2024 Christmas in Retrospect
by @federicah

Christmas celebration in my family is always an example of a typical Naija family Christmas. 2024 Christmas celebration wasn't an exception, the only difference was that rather than spending the holiday in my family house in Port Harcourt, I traveled to a new city (Lagos State) where I spent the Christmas with my sisters and it was fun as usual.

Third Place

A Day of Gratitude and Reciprocity
by @vickoly

At the end of the calls, texting, chatting, and video calls, I went to sleep and hoped to travel down to visit my relatives in Ijebu Ode to celebrate the festive season with them, because I know if I don't travel, then it's going to be a boring first day of the year for me because I'll literally be alone at my place if I decide not to travel, so that was the plan, but it never materialized at the end of the day.
