Christmas in Nigeria is a family event, a time when lots of family members come together to celebrate and have fun. The period before, during and after Christmas Day is marked by conviviality, merriment, wining and dining. The dominant activities during the festivity in Nigeria include eating traditional cuisine, sharing of gifts and cards as well as visiting friends, family, and places of interest. Many families, that live in cities, travel to the villages where their grandparents and older relatives live. Many different languages are spoken in Nigeria, so the greeting for Happy/Merry Christmas varies. For example, in Hausa it is 'barka dà Kirsìmatì' and in Yoruba it is 'E ku odun, e ku iye'dun'.
End-of-the-year festive season in Nigeria reflects the joy and excitement of the holiday. Nigerians typically decorate their homes and streets for Christmas with various items such as tinsel, baubles, fairy lights, and garlands. They also put up artificial Christmas trees in their homes and send Christmas cards to their friends and family members. Some public places like shopping malls, museums, and churches display holiday symbols such as Santa, angels, and gift boxes. Children also enjoy playing with firecrackers and fireworks during the festive season.
There are many delicious and festive dishes that Nigerians make during the festive period ranging from chicken to turkey, to various stews and soups, local, national and international dishes, different types of swallows, local snacks and drinks with different types of barbecued proteins (ram, goat, fish, pork etc,) Here are some brief instructions for ten special Nigerian festive dishes:
