Why Ghanaians do not celebrate Christmas like the way they use to

Years ago, Christmas was celebrated with much joy than it is now. Children used to go from house to house and ask for their Christmas gift while parents also save and prepare their best food during the festive season.

But now things seem to have changed. Though people still cook their best food at Christmas, the joy that use to come with it does not exist any longer.

While some people blame it on economic hardships, others believe the change in the way Christmas is celebrated has got nothing to with the government.

Unlike before, the food that made Christmas special is now consumed every day.

For instance, chicken which was the main meat most people used to prepare their food is now eaten almost everyday.

Now, Christmas is all about the events you are attending. People who use to live in areas where events are organized more seem to enjoy the holidays than those living in areas where nothing goes on.
