Happy Holidays SFTA Fam! I’m traveling the globe assisting Santa in the delivery of toys to all good boys and girls so I’ll be outta the loop for a minute but I took a few moments to compile a post full of photos from a few A-Town Christmas events. I wish all of you guys the very best this holiday season and pray your holiday is off to a great start!
Enjoy!
Devyne Stephens Annual Christmas Gala:
Devyne Stephens held his annual Christmas party Tuesday evening (Dec. 22) at the Atlanta History Center. This year’s theme was “Puttn’ on the Ritz” and Devyne went all out in celebration of the holidays. Spotted in the crowd were Atlanta Mayor-elect Kasim Reed, Monica, Akon, Yung Joc, Jermaine Dupri and more:

Big Boi’s Big Kidz Foundation Holiday Celebration:
On Thursday December 17, 2009, Big Boi’s Big Kidz Foundation held it’s annual holiday party at the Art on 5 Gallery in Atlanta, GA. In addition to an appearance from Antwan “Big Boi” Patton *Hey Twaaannnnn!*, guests were treated to hands on interaction as they participated in “Paint By Numb3rs”art pieces costume designed by gallery owner and artist Andre’ Thompson.
The youth were joined by several Atlanta notables including Big Kidz’ Board Members: City Councilman Kwanza Hall, and Atlanta’s Major-Elect Kasim Reed, as well as Producer Chris Henderson: The beat-maker behind Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It”. Guests were entertained with performances by Atlanta’s Douglass High School Chorus, youth dance companies I AM Movement and Moving in the Spirit’s Men in Motion, and wowed by nine-year-old DJ Priest.
The Big Kidz Foundation partnered with Family First, the DeKalb County Child Advocacy Center and other local agencies to provide gifts to less fortunate youth and children in foster care. “I just wanted to spread a little holiday cheer, especially in this tough economy”, said Big Boi.
Twan shows he’s flexible. 
This is by far my favorite shot today…
