Santa Claus, Go Straight to Ghetto

By Delores Jones

Kansas City, MO – Growing up, Christmas in our house was synonymous with mistletoes and music. The mistletoe was more than a festive decoration. The mistletoe was about relationship and a great way to sneak a kiss from the person you had a crush on but were too shy to approach. The music gave life meaning.
