Black Santa 🎅🏾
And I just thought, wow, all I want to do is call my Nana and tell her that she could go ham now in 2022 in the holiday decor because Target has black Santa. I love you so much, Dana, and this post is for you

Man, that was a mic drop on the ending of that. Unbelievable. That's such a beautiful memory. Excuse me, memory. And then you see it here in 2022, and you want her to be here. She sounds just amazing. She just was the embodiment of just life and just joy and so infused into you, obviously. I really appreciate this story. I love stories that call up the spirit of someone that moved us so much. Thank you so much

Hey, it's JL. What a beautiful, beautiful recollection of your childhood with your grandmother and how she would go around because it was that important to her for her family to have have brown faced Santas versus a Santa that did not look like the family. And then you see one excuse me? You see one and you purchase it in honor of her commitment to have brown faced Santas for the family

Oh, thank you so much. Thank you so much for listening. I appreciate that. And thank you for following as well. I am really excited to honor all of my grandmothers because I do have so many and they had such a profound impact on my life. And I cherished all of the relationships that I have with them individually and collectively as kind of suitable go parents and different points of my life leading up into adulthood

And so I don't know, I guess that was just I don't know if that was her being inquisitive or if that was more related to what your point was and that it didn't seem familiar to her, so she wasn't comfortable trusting in that. But thanks for sharing

You know, I just had to come back and respond once again, because you sparked something else. I think kids are just so much more smarter and wiser sometimes, because I went with the whole Santa narrative, and, you know, listening to you say what you said about your daughter, and then my son was the same way, where he was just like, we would go different places, let's say, within one day
