As we travel home for the Christmas, lets remember to celebrate the Yuletide with our families. We are expected to spend time with our families: Mums and Dads and Wives and our kids. We should also have more time with our children at home and take them outing to see our relations and to celebrations. We should not be the type that goes out in the morning and come back in the night. We should always eat the food prepared by our parents or our wives no matter how OK we may be from the food we ate outside, instead make space for the home food when you are eating outside. We should not drink to intoxication. We must not fight or pick quarrels with people. Try to avoid quarreling with anybody, big or small. Pay condolence visit to your family members both rich and poor that lost their loved ones. It helps to heal their pains. Attend village and Family meetings because we learn a lot from the discussions held there. Do not fly your ego because you are rich or intimidate others with your wealth. Enjoy your wealth, but keep your ego low. Help your family members and old friends as much as you can.

As you visit the rich relations and rich friends of yours, also visit the poor relations and the poor friends of yours. Do not go a borrowing because of the Christmas. Welcome the poor the way you welcomed the rich in your home. If the poor ask you for a help that is not within your reach please do not shout on the person or remind the person the wrong he or she did to you in the past, but kindly and gently tell the person that you cannot afford to render the help at that moment. Let the person understand that you would have loved to help if you had the means. Be humble to people. Do not debate with anyone on who is richer. Drink, but do not drink your brain out. Say, "hello" to the poor and the rich. Respect your elders in the village. Drive when you are not drunk. Do not make donations that will hinder your business after the Christmas. Do not donate because others are donating. As you spend money in the village always remember your children's school fees and feeding and your house rent after the Christmas and the problems facing you. When any case come up in the Umunna or village meetings, please try to stand on the right side and try to defend the oppressed.

FUTURE is a mystery worth waiting for. PAST is a history worth learning from. PRESENT
is what I'm expecting from you this Christmas! May the miracle of Christmas fill your heart with warmth and love. Christmas is the time of giving and sharing. It is the time of loving and forgiving
