Tips on surviving the festive village adventure.

Ah!  the festive season, that magical time when families gather, and the holiday spirit fills the air. 

But, beware, dear city dwellers, for venturing into the village comes with its own set of unwritten rules and quirky adventures.

Picture this: You’ve left the hustle and bustle of the city, traded skyscrapers for scenic landscapes, and now find yourself in the heart of the village. 

It’s a time for joy and celebration, but before you break into your holiday dance, here are a few survival tips to ensure your festive season doesn’t turn into a rural comedy:

1. Chore Overload 

In the city, house chores may be reserved for the weekend, but in the village, they are part of daily life. 

Forget about being treated like royalty; everyone pitches in. Cooking, cleaning, milking cows—you name it, you do it. 

Your city skills will definitely be put to the test, and that fancy detergent you use at home? Say hello to “Mbisú,” the giant village saucepan.

2. Fashion Faux Pas

Ladies leave those skimpy clothes, tight jeans, and city styles behind. The village doesn’t share the same fashion sensibilities. 

You don’t want Uncle Bob to mistake you for a misplaced fashion model. Instead, opt for the trusty dera dresses—versatile, easy to wash, and suitable for all weather. 

Plus, embracing village fashion will keep you out of the gossip mill.

3. Soap Opera in the Village

Your small bar of soap is no longer a personal item; it becomes a communal treasure. 

When you start washing utensils in the village, the entire family will depend on your soap skills. 

Welcome to the real soap opera—where your sudsing abilities become the talk of the town.

4. Drinking Dilemmas 

In the village, festive drinking hours know no limits. Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary believe in celebrating the season to the fullest. 

So while you’re nursing your hot cocoa, they’ll be toasting to village tales and traditions. 

Keep it simple and avoid becoming the subject of village gossip, in order to spare your mother any unnecessary troubles.

So, city slickers, as you trade the urban jungle for rural serenity, remember these village survival tips.

Embrace the chores, master the art of village fashion, become the soap opera sensation, and navigate drinking dilemmas with finesse. 

Because in the village, the festive season isn’t just a celebration—it’s a comedic adventure waiting to unfold!
