Tis’ the season to be merry — even amid the pandemic the spirit of giving and delivering (even if it’s via UPS) is alive! This holiday season rings in the sentiment now more than ever to give the gift of support by purchasing your Christmas gifts from local, small, black businesses during this season of COVID-19. Here are a few of my favs for 2020:
