In Nigeria this period, my country, people had to cut down on spending, most didn't travel home i.e their home town or villages (which is like the xmas culture here) due to inflation in transportation costs and bad economy. It is evident when you look around that people arent celebrating like they used to.
I won't be surprised if a large number of them are slipping into depression despites the festice season.
Let's help keep people spirits alive this period.
God bless Nigeria
