Debra Atlas, reviews Zulugrass in her environmental blogpost  “Gifts that Give Hope“. Debra points out that the benefits of Zulugrass jewelry is the positive environmental  role it has played in restoring the wetlands.

It is the  holiday season in Kenya, celebrated with traditions similar to those in Western cultures. Maasai children wake up early on the 25th of December and excitedly urge their parents to hurry as they make tea and cook breakfast so they can open the presents. Sound familiar?!

The Maasai still keep their traditions intact – herding cattle and living off the land as modernization changes the world around them. They are known to be a culture with close community and family ties  who love to celebrate all occasions in a big way; so they naturally adopted Christmas into their culture as yet another wonderful celebration and embraced it with relish.

In the months approaching Christmas, the Maasai are busy making presents for each other, planning events, cleaning their finest of everything, scrubbing the houses, repairing the grounds, getting out the jewelry and shopping for new kikoi’s, the European version of a shuka- Maasai fabric, to wear.

The air is full of excitement! The acacia trees are blooming, and produce the most flavorful of all the honeys in the world. This honey is then used to produce honey beer- a common holiday beverage at Maasai celebrations served with a feast of roasted meat, and potatoes.

When you wake up Christmas morning, think for just a moment about the Maasai half a world away. Cuddling their exhausted children, patting stomachs full of meat, drowsy with libation, and admiring their lovely presents with family all around.

This Zulugrass Holiday video was shot at the 16th annual Union Square Holiday Market. With over 100 merchants bringing in some of the most unique gifts ever, this is the place to do your holiday shopping, and is a perfect place for Zulugrass. One of our partners participates in this local event each year and is opening a new boutique called Sage.

We asked our partners (stores that carry Zulugrass) to participate in our Zulugrass Holiday event by creating a short video about them and Zulugrass. We wanted to see if there were unique ways they wore it and how they displayed it. We found that they are as passionate about our jewelry as we are. It allows you to create your own style. Please make sure you vote for you favorite, share it with others and comment on our blog.

Stacey Horowitz at Shopping for a Change shows us how to create our own style with Zulugrass by mixing it up.  She submitted such a great video that we decided to split it in to two segments. This is the first one.
