The Chin Chin cookies, crunchy and cinnamon favored, would be a snack I would consider eating.

Hi Miss White. In Nigeria, children play with firecrackers, their favorite activity, on Christmas morning. Now I know we can't play with firecrackers, but we can arm wrestle!

I love the arm wrestling idea! (I love the fire crackers idea, too, but I can't condone such activities in New York State.)

Tummys rumbling, lips smacking, the family was hungry for Cristmas dinner. In Nigeria the food is ethnically diverse. They don't have a type of food they are famous as a country for but, rice is one of the very popular and most avaliable types of food in Nigeria.

Zobo, a Nigerian drink packed with vitamin C, is something I would love to bring to the party.

I think it is interesting that they have such a variety of people that live there, so there is not one all-Nigerian dish. The chinchin sounds prettty good,though.

Pineapple juice, refreshing and tangy, would be a great idea for the party.

Christmas in Nigeria is a lot like our Christmas. In Nigeria, people get together with family, much like our own culture, and celebrate on Christmas Eve. Children dress up to see the holiday's famous figure, Santa Claus, and people exchange gifts with relatives.

African yams, pale and unsweet, are horridley and repulsively unappetizing. Yams that we eat in the United states are colorful and sweet. In Nigeria they are just the opposite.

Christmas in Nigeria, colorful and festive, is very similar to christmas in the United States because in Nigeria they also sing carols, gather with family, decorate with lights, exchange gifts, and eat feasts

Coconut jollof rice, delicious and a cultural twist, is jollof rice mixed with coconut milk. It would make a great addition to our party

Heather, I don't know why the links didn't work for you. You did a good job compensating for that though. Nice.

Lights sparkling, firecrackers popping, the streets on Christmas are filled with many decorations. Kulikui, deep fried peanut treats, sound like a delicious holiday snack in Nigeria.

Artificial trees, a Christmas decoration used in America, are also used in Nigeria.
