I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I especially love seeking out new items to add to my collection of Black Christmas ornaments and decorations. There was a time in the early 90”s when a trip to the local Hallmark Store would afford me a sizable selection of ornaments to select from. Today, I’ve found it to be more challenging to find African American inspired Christmas items.

Today, in order to acquire such items, you have to know someone who creates handmade items or has a website that caters to people looking for that special collectible or decoration to add to their home for the holidays.

In the spirit of Christmas, I wanted share with you a few of my favorite items that I have collected through the years. Check out the photo gallery for this blog.

Enjoy your quest to add something new to your collection of African American Christmas Santas, ornaments and home decor.

Here are a few websites for African American Christmas items and much more to get you started.
