It's another exciting week to join the ladies of Hive contest which is something I always look forward to every week after each winner to a particular week has been announced. As usual, 2 questions were asked this week and somehow they are kind of related so I'll be answering both questions and will be linking the answer to the two questions together.
I will start with this, I have never been the type of person who loves traveling right from time because of the sick feeling I get when in the vehicle during the journey. Well, I've never traveled out of my country before so permit me to say that I may have a different thought about traveling if I finally get the chance to experience traveling outside of my country. All I know is that all the period I've attempted to travel to a different state or somewhere within my state which is miles away, the feeling of being sick while in the vehicle always makes me regret the decision.
Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who feels that way, I still don't know if it's the air conditioner in the bus or the air that blows during the journey, I just don't know. The worst part is that the sick feeling doesn't disappear after I get to my destination, sometimes it stays up to three days before I finally recover. To be honest, this is one of the reasons why I decided to spend Christmas in my home, no traveling. So my answer to the first question is this, No, I don't like traveling during holidays, I rather stay close to home or just be at home.
I wish I have a picture of this to share but I don't. It's all good though, it won't spoil the fun hehe. Let me answer this by sharing a bit about my family.☺
During a season like this, we always prepare different types of foods ranging from our native food to the English kind of food. I've mentioned somewhere in one of my previous posts the types of prepared foods which are some native dishes (white soup, egusi soup and pounded yam, pepper soup with goat meat) For the English dishes, are ( Jollof rice, chicken stew, white rice, Fried rice, and salad.)
My favorite amongst all of these foods is the salad.

I love the salad cream, the veggies, and the fruits that it is made of, it's a very healthy and delicious kind of food that is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Every salad has its name however, I stick with the general name salad.
The veggies which I use for the salads I prepare are usually cabbage, carrot, cucumber, avocado, and sweet corn with the salad cream.
Even though I won't be preparing so many types of food this season, the salad definitely won't be missing and I will make an attempt to bake a cake myself too for the first time in my life hehe, I'm surely going to have fun baking.
I don't have much on my mind to do this season but to be able to end the year 2021 well, cross over to the new year and have a good start in the year 2022, it's all I have on my mind right now.
You have come to the end of this post, thanks for the time you spent reading.
I invite @amberkashif to join in.
I'm cheering for dreemportstaff @kemmyb to win this week.
One thing I look forward to every festive season is the food! 😃 Well, not the cooking part even though I end up doing most of it.
Salad? Mhm, I understand lapping up the cream but I'm not so into salad. My target is always the chicken or turkey! Hahaha.
What an interesting entry. I know a few people who are always car sick like you when they travel. Well, I hope you relax this season and enjoy the celebrations.
Thanks for cheering for me! I appreciate it. Good luck in the contest. 😊
Thank you Kem!
Ah so I'm not the only one who experiences that??.
I will definitely enjoy the celebrations while I stay at home.

Hello @jessicaossom. What a lovely read. Sorry to hear you have travel sickness. When I was younger, I didn't mind traveling. Now, I hate the thought of getting on the road. Even though I want to vacation and experience different things, it's the thought of getting there that upsets me.
Thanks for sharing your favorite holiday foods, blending native and other nationalities. Especially the green salads. I love salads too. They seem to break up the heavy, traditional foods eaten that day and for several days after. And you can always add the holiday meats to the salads.
Take care, and have a wonderful holiday with family.
Thanks for reading ma'am.
Yeah, the salads break up the heavy traditional foods eaten that day😀
About adding the holiday meat to the salad, I haven't tried it before but I'm going to try it this time.
Thank you, have a wonderful holiday too ma'am 😊
Hi @jessicaossom. It is such a nice and detailed read about your holidays. Hmmm.... travel sickness!!! That really snatches the joy of the journey. Though I don't usually have travel sickness, yet it happened a couple of times and I really felt tired.
With regard to food, you have a long list of likes, haven't you? Hehe. I want to have my share in cream salad 😛. Yummmm.
Thanks for the invite. Good luck for the contest!
Thank you for stopping by.
Travel sickness indeed snatched the joy it the journey away. I've never ever in my life enjoyed travelling. God help me hehe.
Don't worry, I will have the cream salad mailed to you😉😀
Travelling and food is something amazing to enjoy. For freshness and enjoyment we can travel as well as enjoy the food on the way. We can just consider an example of an outside picnic in which we travel as well as we enjoy food and get freshness.
I have gotten this from @dreemport
I think the food at this time of year is always special maybe because it’s often with family and friends
When I was younger I used to suffer badly with car sickness I still do occasionally but not as bad as when I was younger
I agree with you, I'm sure it's because it is often with family and friends, that's just what it is.
About the car sickness, I wonder when I will be free from mine.
Hopefully it will ease of soon, I know I had to stop reading or looking down in a car to help with mine
Oh! I will figure out a way to deal with mine soon.😊
good luck :)
Thanks for stopping by.
👍🙂👍
Hi, just to not say i dropped in out of nowhere,,, I came through @dreemport 😅
I travel a lot and I hate it.. would rather stay at home if given a choice. The feeling of "Are we there yet?" then the trip back. 🤣
anyway I am rooting for this!👇
Thanks for sharing on #pypt!
YUM YUM baking is so much fun the smells that are associated with it and the anticipation of getting to dive in and devour it after it is all ready are just too good.
Thank you for sharing this with PYPT today and have a wonderful Christmas and new year
Salad is one of my favorite things, too, because it can be different each time! Good luck with your cake baking, and blessings to you through the holidays and the coming year!
Amen, thank you ma'am.
Merry Christmas to you.
Ohhhh travelling i hope we can travel with the covid monster among us
Merry christmas and thank you for blogging and being part of the community ladies of hive.
