Blogmas Day 6
When I was twenty I said “I do” to my now-husband. I was wearing a cream-colored $25 dollar dress. My wedding dress was discovered at my then job Ross Dress for Less. Our courthouse wedding brought us joy.
Dear, Santa Claus
It’s me that black girl from Napoleonville, Louisiana who despised you. I found out you were not real when I was in second grade. You see when you grow up in poverty and someone tells you as a child about Santa Claus your expectations become high.
Well, at least my expectations were high when it came to you. My mind frame year-round revolved around the naughty or nice list.

| Dear Santa Claus |
There's nothing like dancing around to Christmas music! I have been playing Christmas music since November while I cook, clean, and even finish up any class assignments. Music alone can bring together many people from different walks of life. I wanted to share with you my "Lit Holiday Playlist" via Spotify that is sure to get you in the holiday spirit.
I don’t know what was a worse feeling during the Christmas holidays, feeling like a charity case or feeling incomplete? I always felt both from being poverty-stricken and sadness. Christmas always reminded me that my happiness never resided in materialistic things.
