Welcome to Feathers My Hair, a teen mom deep dive podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bentley.

Hello. Excuse me. Oh, hi, guys. I've not recorded a podcast in two and a half weeks. I don't know. I don't remember the last time I posted.

Whenever I recorded the last feathers in my hair is the last time I recorded a podcast,

and it was really hard for me to start recording this episode. I also like my semester's done.

So I've been really good throughout the semester of recording feathers

in my hair because I knew I had to like study most of Saturday. So I would wake up and record

and usually be done around two so I could spend the rest of the day studying. But now that I don't

have to study my next, well, I'm taking a winter class that starts, I think, on the 14th.

So in like two weeks, and it's a condensed class. My school has like a long winter break,

so you can take a winter course. It's just one class. So I don't know how much studying I'm going to

have to do. But I am on winter break, I guess, until then. And so I don't have like

anything that I have to get done today except for this podcast, which meant that it was really,

really not easy for me to start recording this. So off the bat, first thing I want to talk about is I am once again doing USPS Operation Santa.

I have adopted three letters as of now.

One from, where's my phone?

I don't know where my phone is to talk about this.

One from, okay, I found my phone. One from a girl named London. She's asking for

LOLL dolls and some winter clothes. So I am boots. So she's the first one that I adopted.

The second one, I want to read this letter because I think that this is really indicative of what is going

on this year. So it says, for those I don't know, USPS Operation Santa is people write to Santa

via USPS and then you can adopt their letters. This year, it seems like they've gotten adopted

really quick. I got these three on the first day that they posted letters.
