It’s just two days to Christmas, and guess what? I’m not working on Christmas Day!
I’ve been thinking about writing a Christmas post because I can’t end this year without thanking everyone who has been reading, commenting, and supporting my blog. Writing and connecting with all of you through my thoughts and feelings about life has truly been one of my favorite activities this year.
A few days ago, my friend Ebube called and mentioned that she’d be coming to Glasgow for a day trip with Yinka. They planned to leave the next day, and it got me thinking about how every year, since moving to the UK during the Christmas period, I’ve had the chance to meet up with Ebube. Do you remember my Christmas trip to Edinburgh with Ebube? Well, we’re doing it again this year, but this time, it’s just a quick day trip before Christmas.
Yesterday, being Sunday, Yinka arrived on time as planned. She used FlixBus, and it didn’t disappoint this time. Unlike the first time I used it to travel to Aberdeen for her graduation, the delay at the station caused me to arrive late. Ebube, on the other hand, had a bit of a hectic journey. Her flight from Cork to Glasgow circled above the city for about 20–30 minutes because of strong winds, and they eventually decided to land at Edinburgh Airport instead. From there, she took a bus to Glasgow.
Once we picked her up from Glasgow airport, she dropped off her things at the hotel, changed her outfit, and we headed to the city center. We went to a lounge, relaxed, and caught up with each other.
They are both traveling back today; I really appreciate their presence. We had a wonderful time, and it was a lovely Christmas visit. They did mention that Glasgow didn’t seem to have much of a Christmas vibe or many lights, which I hadn’t noticed until they pointed it out. I joked that maybe the city was broke, and we all laughed about it. I wish them a safe journey back.
And just before I end this post, I want to thank every one of you who takes the time to comment, read, and contribute to this blog. I am truly grateful, and I love it when you do, especially because so many people read my blog and learn from your comments and reactions. It’s always fulfilling for me to see how your engagement adds value to this space.
I want to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas. I pray that God will keep and bless you, fill your heart with love and peace, and keep you smiling throughout this festive period. I also pray that next year will be even better than this one—filled with joyful smiles, hearty laughter, excellent health, and the fulfillment of your dreams. May God grant you insight on how to start that project you’ve always wanted to pursue and connect you to the resources and opportunities to make your goal a reality.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you so much, and God bless you!
One last post to go for the year, and I will wrap up 2024’s posts. I am excited!
