I love Christmas.
Always have.
And I loved that Christmas was
just as much about giving as
receiving.
That's me, Gina Gina.
Even recorded a Christmas song,
became a huge hit.
You remember,
"Where My Santa At?"
It was fate that Franklin and I
were married on Christmas Day.
Christmas was always special to
me, but that beautiful day at
the Chesterton Hotel, it became
special to both of us.
We always said "No challenge",
big or small, will stop us.
We'll work through them all.
"Together."
We both started crushing it
in our careers in the music
industry.
So you trade in the hustle of
the concrete jungle for room to
breathe, something new, and
hopefully better.
Hopefully...
