Finally I have a couple of weeks all to myself. I just love my employers for making it possible, closing down the offices every Christmas season so that no one will work! I think this policy is just great. Some people just know how to do things the right way, don't they?
Personally, I've not had a break for a long time now and I think this holiday is just on time to unwind a bit. I've been indoors all day. I heard that there's going to be a party at the Philippine Embassy tonight, but I am not going. Another one tomorrow too but I also intend to stay indoors.
As I write, I am looking at four bottles of wine in front of me (photo above) and I'm tempted to open one of them. But I can't. Although I take a sip during occasions, I'm not the kind that will drink a bottle of alcohol until the bottom is up and my head is down, which is what I will have to do if I open a bottle now since there's no one here to drink with me!
In Nigeria (as in some parts of the world) it is a custom to give a bottle of wine as a gift, especially during Christmas and New Year. So far I have received four bottles: two from Joy, my friend from Zenith Bank, one from Marilu Glanznig, and the one on the right, with the name card attached to it, is from the Embassy of Italy.
