Christmas season is here again, “One can never have enough socks,"
said Dumbledore. "Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a
single pair. People will insist on giving me books.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone once said. Unfortunately, it won’t last
forever. But you can make it worth remembering when you go places you’ve never
been before during the celebration season.
With few days to Christmas, every
fun-loving individual should be thinking or planning an amazing place to be
with loved ones, aside the traditional trip to the village for extended family
reunions like my family. From the abode where nature is at its perfect form, to
standard and ultra-modern environment, we present you a list of ten exceptional
places carefully selected from across the six geo-political zones in Nigeria to
spend the Christmas vacation.

and horse riding, night club as well as bonfires. A walk through the forest of
Obudu brings one closer to nature as you listen to beautiful birds singing
melodiously to your delight. It’s one of the wonders of Nigeria and possibly
the best vacation spot for anyone seeking to enjoy a holiday in an environment
that offers a perfect blend of nature and modernity.
