"I Just Want to Wish All of you a Happy Holiday season"
Please give and receive love Please find ways to enjoy yourself Please take care of your health (while I know that may contradict the previous one LOL)
I want to also acknowledge that this time of year is difficult for many people because they lost loved ones...my heart and thoughts are with you as well.
I do appreciate this OKP family, no matter how I've interacted with you.

yes I remember that!!! oh i'm so glad to hear that
let me tell you i literally struggled with that this morning...even though i'm trying to grow my natural hair out, i impulsively decided go get a shape up/fade at the barber so I could look "right" for the holiday, and i talked myself out it...my nappy edges are fine the way they are..so i decided to go spend that barber money on a really good moisturizer for my hair (cuz you know them shit's expensive) so it can be soft and healthy while i'm growing it...
point being, when I encourage you, I'm encouraging myself, as well.
I'll be spending Christmas in the nursing home with my grandmother who's there for physical therapy after dealing with difficulty moving one side of her body. Idc much about the holidays, but they were always a big deal to her, so while everyone else is eating together and just stopping by to see her, I'll be spending the day with her. I dunno how many Christmases she has left, so I couldn't see spending it any other way.
