Here are three reasons T.I. has already brought us some joy and cheer this December:

1) He is now an animated character. On Monday, December 16th, he and his family will appear in the all-new animated special T.I. & Tiny: Holiday Hustle where they, along with their six kids, have to find Santa and save Christmas. It is holiday perfection.

2) The Book Of Kings was just released. This limited edition coffee table book is not for sale and you can only get it through his AKOO clothing line, but the photos inside are unreal. The book has photos of Tip, Pharrell, Pusha T and dozens more and is "designed to celebrate the culture, art, music and lifestyle as well as the hustlers who are leaving their mark in the space."

3) These photos, above. When Tip joined us in the studio this week, he donned his Santa hat and a smile and now we basically can die now because it was so cute and also he is very handsome and it was the best Christmas ever the end.
