The second Saturday of December is now National SISMAS Day.
Ladies, there’s plenty of reason to celebrate every second Saturday of December as Simone I. Smith has officially declared it National SISMAS Day.
Smith, a jewelry designer and wife of hip-hop legend LL Cool J, created National SISMAS Day—a new national day centered around honoring sisterhood and friendship during the festive season. The newly recognized day, focused on celebrating sisterhood, is a heartfelt tribute to the unbreakable bonds between women and will fall on the second Saturday of December, with the first being on Saturday, Dec. 14, a press release states.
Now recognized as a national day, SISMAS is dedicated to bringing people together for festive gatherings, sharing unforgettable moments, and creating lasting memories filled with joy and connection. Smith started it as a beloved occasion where a close-knit group of friends, mostly women, gathered to celebrate their bond during the holiday season.
Recognizing the value of these relationships, the certified queen of hoop earrings and co-founder and designer of Simone I. Smith Jewelry, wanted to create a special occasion for her closest friends and family to reunite, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company. SISMAS stands as a tribute to the importance of these bonds and the joy that comes from nurturing them.
Legendary rapper Roxanne Shante posted on Instagram on Dec. 12 to express her excitement about Smith’s declaration of SISMAS a national day.
