Shit!!! Is it really Christmas already? The smell of gingerbread looms in the air, I see candy canes everywhere. The cookies and cakes and pies, oh my\u2026if I eat any of this shit I will definitely Die. Oh but who could resist my moms famous dressing? Me, cause I don\u2019t want to pressing, an extra pound or two, three or four, If I eat that stuff I\u2019ll never be able to get through the door. I know, I know who says no to Mac n Cheese, the person who doesn\u2019t want to die of Diabetes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ok, so I\u2019m no poet. Lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My family comes together on the 24th of December, there\u2019s always a lot of food that smells and tastes amazing, there\u2019s lots of laughter and usually a lot of people. This holiday wasn\u2019t the polar opposite of my former Christmases but it definitely had a lot of high points I\u2019d never seen before, namely with my family. This year was different for a number of reasons, starting with it was literally my first Christmas as a single man who lives alone, second because I had to give up my home this year, this was my first time hosting Christmas in a smaller place since I lived with my mother years ago. Also, my oldest biological brother, his children, my nieces and nephews and wife were celebrating with the family. I was beyond excited and I could tell, you couldn\u2019t wipe the smile off my face if you had a bucket of \u201cEazy Off \u201c oven spray, man it was high times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
