  • RHOA’s Phaedra Parks’ Family Christmas Photo + Her Holiday Message of UNITY… [PHOTOS]

    Dec, 29 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Attorney Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and her handsome hubby Apollo Nida pose alongside their son Ayden in their 2011 family Christmas Card photo.

    Phaedra also took some time to hit up her Bravo blog to spread a few words of holiday cheer.  The southern belle stressed the importance of UNITY and putting aside petty differences during the holiday season.

    Most importantly, we shouldn’t enter a new year carrying old baggage if at all possible.

    Phaedra’s holiday message below…

    In December, more than 90% of Americans will celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, or Kwanzaa. As a Christian, my family celebrates Christmas; however, we appreciate and respect all the winter holidays. After studying the most popular holidays of the winter, I noted that while they are all based on different principles, a common theme is clear: unity. 

    Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ; Chanukah pays tribute to the dedication of the Jewish people who fervently believed in their right to religious freedom; and Kwanza, a traditionally African-American celebration, focuses on reconnecting African-Americans with their native African heritage.

    During Sunday’s episode, The Bailey Agency, much like the winter holidays, united us all.

    For the first time since Cynthia’s wedding, Kim and NeNe were in the same room without any conflict. While their friendship is still on the mend, we all came together to celebrate Cynthia’s leap into entrepreneurship.

    Many times during the holidays we tend to place our differences aside for the sake of others.

    In like fashion, I determined my friendship with Sheree is more valuable than our legal relationship.

    During this holiday season and in the New Year, I encourage you to put petty differences aside and focus on unity with friends and family.

    Everybody knows the best gifts are those that aren’t tangible but felt by the heart.

    Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, and Happy New Year to all! May God’s richest blessings be yours. (source)

    Awesome message! :-)

    Is it me or is Phaedra fast becoming America’s favorite housewife?

      Ms. Phaedra is SUCH a Southern Belle and I love and respect her for it. She’s a little kinky at times but her hospitality amongst the others speaks volumes about her character and her upbringing. Ms. Phaedra is the best RHOA by far. Go girl! Plus, she doesn’t hold a thing about and she does it with style…unlike Nene’s over the top behind.

      Sorry but that is not cute.

      Everyone else is saying she is classy womp womp.

      Well, a true southern belle as you call her would not be on this show. Next, she would actually practice law and fake law. Let’s face it she’s a fame whore just like the rest otherwise she’d be prosperous in private. She must be trying to find herself or just caught up in the reality crap America promotes. When you take a respectable profession and need to be on one of the ranchiest shows out there then you are not classy, you aren’t a lady..u’re just like the other hooches.

      Pheadra is my favorite ATL housewife….I remember when she first joined the show and she was pregnant she tried to or the producers tried to portray her as dumb… she acted like she didnt know nothing. I guess they ran back the footage of her on the show or she started losing clients due to her being a lawyer but acting stupid on camera because she wised up quick as hell and started acting like a real college educated woman… yes pheadra gossips (who doesnt on this show)but she doesnt stay on one topic every episode. The new christmas photo doesnt look like her… at all… her cheek bones look high and where is that gorgeous gap in her teeth? I loved her smile with the gap…. what happened? everyone else (husband and son) look like themselves

      Give me a break, this woman sprouts these messages (although they are good ones) just like a pastor who preaches one thing and does another. She is constantly on with the nasty comments about some of her castmates (even if they are funny) and dodges every simple question about that husband of hers (handsome or not). Having spent many years working in the legal field, I’d have to agree with Sheree (lord’s know I don’t want to) she did not due her due diligence in her case, otherwise she would have been more prepared or not have taken the case at all. In her blogs she never owns up to what she says or does, like a any good attorney, she distracts the readers with messages and not comments on the shows episodes. She’s as full of it as any other.

      I like Phaedra. At least, she brings a different dynamic…she’s an attorney! Sheree didn’t want to have dude locked up, which was Phaedra’s plan A. Obviously, in the past with other attorneys and judges, Bob has gotten away with his antics. Maybe Phaedra’s presence on a dumb reality show will motivate young women to get a law degree instead of trying to marry a baller or having his baby for child support, stripping, dancing, making a sex tape to get famous, dating married men for profit…or getting a law degree as a backup plan for aspiring singers, rappers and actresses! You have to play up to the cameras and be "ridiculous" if you are to stay on a reality tv show!
