Black Santa Houston starts, shares Christmas tradition at Third Ward bookstore
A Black-owned bookstore in Houston kicked off this holiday season with a guest who many children in Third Ward are not used to seeing - a Black Santa Claus.on 2304 Stuart to talk to Santa and to take photos with him inside his red vintage Volkswagen Beetle -- as his reindeer had a previous obligation.
With such a big request, Santa had to politely let her know that Rudolph is at the ‘Reindeer Games,’so he will see what other gifts she may be able to have for Christmas. “This is my way of building community around Black Santa and making a space where I wanted Black children to feel like they were included and thought of,” said Terri Hamm, 36, founder of Kindred Stories.
“I wanted Luke to take a picture with Santa when he was 10 months old and couldn’t find one,” she said. “It did not exist in Houston.”
