If you have been here for more than five minutes, you know how much I love Christmas! In the last few years, the networks have been stepping up with diversity, and I love that I can finally have some favorite Black Holiday moves to watch! It was rough growing up and loving Christmas movies when none of the actors looked like me. I am so happy that Holiday movies can be a true part of our holiday traditions!
