Mohammad Hussain's one amongst many unfortunate folks who have had to cancel their holiday plans due to the ongoing pandemic. It's been a historically difficult year, for sure. But throughout all this adversity, it's on us to mindfully work to identify the silver linings when we can.

    Christmas decoration - Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHussain My roommates encouraged me to buy my own keeper ornament. They told me to find something that made me smile and that was special to me. I bought this one and I am very happy. It is an everything bagel.

If they break it I will haunt them. 27 1 24 Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHuss.. · 3h Observation 7: The religious aspect of Christmas is optional. T really like this one.

    Text - Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHussain To wrap things up I want to applaud longtime Christmas celebrators. This is a lot of work and very tiring. I will say I am having a very pleasant time.
