Could this possibly be cliche? Yes, it more than likely is, but I really don’t care. 

First and foremost, to everyone reading this, happy holidays to you and yours. And for those out there who are not celebrating any sort of religious holiday, just know any day above ground is a good one, so yeah. At 26 – soon to be 27 next February – I remember a lot of my celebrity crushes. Some I’ve grown out of and ome I can’t even remember. But there’s one I had growing up who will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Mariah Carey. And more specifically Mariah Carey’s holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas.” Aside from being an all-around dope song, what’s funny is, when I was young, I convinced myself the song was actually about me. Hell, even now I’d like to still believe it is because of my long-time crush on Nicki’s favorite co-worker.

Anywho, enjoy this time being around your family if you’re lucky enough to have the opportunity. For those that aren’t, say a small prayer for them and go on to cherish these moments.

I know I do. Every year. Every Christmas. Word to Luther Vandross.
