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!
