This was the longest Christmas I've had to endure. Reason? I spent it away from my family... in Abuja. #Tip for the Future => Abuja is NOT a travel destination at Christmas! The Nation's Capital was a veritable ghost town of sorts.
Er... Okay my Dad came to visit, but he's working half the time... That doesn't count, does it?
I missed Mom's cooking and gist. My brothers shenanigans, especially the after-hours cooking at 2a.m. after plenty of partying and boozing. I missed the laughter. I missed the fun. I missed the feeling of connection that comes with being a part of a closely knit family unit.
It was tough!
Here's a glimpse of how I managed to keep sane over the festivities.
On the 24th: Hung out with friends...
 |
| Roxy of Tailor Me |
 |
| U.T |
 |
| Sir Cornells of passionistahub |
 |
| Me! Having a Cosmopolitan and hanging in there. |
26th - Tramping through Arts & Crafts Center with Sir Cornells
So Sir Cornells took one look at my satchel/ man-bag and had to have one. We went from shop to shop perusing their wares but like all great finds, it was a one off. A bit disappointing but a great way to spend time.
 |
| Very colorful drums. |
 |
| This looked like the ideal tool to handle my afro. |
 |
| This looked like it had the 'Ayo' game concept. I was about to grab it until it was opened. I still don't get what it was meant to be. |
 |
| Great man-bag, wrong size. |
 |
| Fascinating wood work for a brief case. |
 |
| The 'Aladdin' slippers caught my eye. |
 |
And more bags.
I thought Sir Cornells looked great with this man-bag but he had something entirely different in mind.

I took several dozen random pictures that will pop up later. Hope y'all had a lovely time.

Isi-Aki.
