Go to those people's homes for Christmas gatherings.

The true meaning of Christmas isn't about Santa Claus anyway.
WHAT??? Ugh, you have ruined Christmas for me.

I am white and grew up in Brooklyn.

When I was about 3 or 4 my mom took me to A&S to see Santa. They had a Black Santa and a white one. The line for Black Santa was much shorter, so for efficiency's sake she took me to that one. Apparently I cried like crazy. She didn't know if it was because it was Santa or because I'd never been that close to a Black man..we lived in a very Italian/Irish/Jewish neighborhood. I have no recollection of any of it.

Let's face Santa Claus is the person who is buying your presents, so if black Santa resembles you go for it. Now I would suggest checking out green acres mall. They have a large black customer base, so maybe Santa is black there.

I don't know on Long Island but I believe that Macy's in Manhattan still has a black Santa Claus.
