Amadi was very excited, Christmas was around the corner, he knew what that meant. Amadi was a butcher in Ariaria market in Aba. Before now he had been struggling to make ends meet. It wasn't that money was elusive, he just didn't know how he spent it. He had resolved in his heart to cut down on his spending, but he needed a big break. Christmas offered that break, he was going to kill and sell three cows this Christmas season. But he needed money to buy the cows, he was already neck deep in debts. How would he get the money. He thought for a long time and smiled to himself. When Christmas comes calling, it brought with it the spirit of benevolence. He knew he could get the money. He'd make thrice of what he got, if not more. He sat down trying to calculate the amount of he'd make. Christmas brought a lot of opportunities with it. Not just any opportunity, money making opportunities. By the new year, he should have settled all his debts. He couldn't wait for the season, to fully set in.
