Winter.

We don't experience that here in Nigeria. Our temperature here is superheated so we do not get to enjoy the magic of the snow but we celebrate the holiday Christmas.

Right now, houses are shining with red and green decorations and fireworks are echoing across the streets. The Christmas spirit is out even if the weather is not. So we do enjoy Christmas over here, just without the winter.

That didn't bother my process of selecting a song for this week. I love Christmas and I listen to a whole lot of Christmas songs, pop to be precise. My favorite will always be "oh holy night" by Celine Dion. Care to share yours in the comments? I would love to know.

In this video though, I sang another of my favorites by the Prince of Pop, Justin Bieber titled mistletoe. The song sings about Christmas love and the mistletoe charm. For those who do not know the charm of the mistletoe, it is said that in Christmas tradition, anyone standing under the mistletoe must kiss.

So here Justin was singing about how he preferred staying under the mistletoe with his 'shawty' to anything else on Christmas. Imagine missing Christmas Jollof and chicken because of true love. The things we do for love😂😂

It's a very romantic song I love that shows the magic of winter and Christmas and I hope you like it too. Wishing you a merry Christmas in advance.

Here are the lyrics
It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets, spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'ma be under the mistletoe
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can't stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'ma be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe

Everyone's gathering around the fire
Chestnuts roasting like a hot July
I should be chilling with my folks, I know
But I'ma be under the mistletoe
Word on the street is Santa's coming tonight
Reindeer flying through the sky so high
I should be making a list, I know
But I'ma be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe
With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe

A love, the wise men followed the star (the wise men followed the star)
The way I followed my heart
And it led me to a miracle
A love (ayy love), don't you buy me nothing (don't you buy me nothing)
'Cause I am feeling one thing, your lips on my lips
That's a merry, merry Christmas

It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets, spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow (I know)
But I'ma be under the mistletoe
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can't stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'ma be under the mistletoe (whoa yeah)

With you, shawty, with you
With you, shawty, with you
With you, under the mistletoe, yeah
With you, shawty, with you
With you (oohh), shawty, with you
With you (yeah), under the mistletoe (under the mistletoe)

Kiss me underneath the mistletoe (kiss me underneath the mistletoe)
Show me, baby, that you love me so-oh-oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe (kiss me underneath the mistletoe)
Show me, baby, that you love me so-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, whoa, oh whoa)
