Santa Mama by Benga

Title: twelve 25
Journaling: (hidden inside the gift)
Christmas is a family reunion in our clan, it's always a double celebration because my parents wedding anniversary falls on Christmas eve. Every year my loving parents will put up a homemade Xmas tree made out of the Indian tree, trimming off the leaves and just leaving the branches, which they will cover with crepe papers and then decorate with lights, hanging toys or whatever comes to their minds. Then they will set up a small fence around the tree and we will fill them with lots and lots of gifts for the whole family. By 12 midnight Christmas time, my Mama will sit by the tree and play Santa! The excited kids and even the "young once" will gather around the tree as they await for their names to be called. You can hear us screaming, cheering, laughing as we open our gifts, and even begging Santa Mama for some more!
