Blogmas Day 7

"Are you getting your toes done today too?" The girl's nail tech asked with of her dark penciled on eyebrows raised.

"I rather do them myself." She said with a reassuring smile. Her nail tech applied a thin coating of light pink nail polish on her nails.

Dear, Santa Claus

It’s me that black girl from Napoleonville, Louisiana who despised you. I found out you were not real when I was in second grade. You see when you grow up in poverty and someone tells you as a child about Santa Claus your expectations become high.

Well, at least my expectations were high when it came to you. My mind frame year-round revolved around the naughty or nice list.

Dear Santa Claus

There's nothing like dancing around to Christmas music! I have been playing Christmas music since November while I cook, clean, and even finish up any class assignments. Music alone can bring together many people from different walks of life. I wanted to share with you my "Lit Holiday Playlist" via Spotify that is sure to get you in the holiday spirit.

During Christmas, the season of giving and receiving gifts, we may forget to practice thankfulness. We can become forgetful, procrastinate, and try to squeeze in time for ourselves as much as possible during the holiday season.

I am thankful that I made it to December 1, 2019. November had a field day with me. There were days last month that I was discouraged. I backed away from posting as much as I intended to on many of my social media platforms.
