Holiday Questions by Hard Bop Messengers Stream and Save Holiday Questions - Distributed by DistroKid

Every year around the holidays I return to this song. I once thought the season was about asking for things. Now I think it’s about asking who needs more than they’re getting. Just a reflection on gratitude, forgiveness, and the empty tables I remember.

I smoked two packs a day by the time I started quitting in my late twenties… took me ten years to fully quit and never pick up again… it was decades later when someone introduced me to nicotine pouches… such an insidious drug…hooked for over a year, just like that. Finally got off that last year
