Been Called "Flash" Since I Was A Kid!
I just sat down to a plate of home made tamales and cookies that my Mexican neighbor brought over. My little dog, Jake was stationed as always by my side hoping for a few morsels to come his way. Of course, some did!
Just after we started eating, there was a tremendous racket outside. Our volunteer Fire Department decorated their trucks with Christmas tree lights and played Christmas music with Santa Claus handing out goodies to the kids.
I came back inside after they passed by and thought about how unique Christmas was in Texas!
I pondered the two slabs of ribs cooling in the refridge waiting for Xmas dinner.
As my eyes scanned the room, I noted the AR-15 in the new Tipton gun vise waiting to be cleaned.
There is a ton of .223 brass being sorted for reloading. Midway finally got some "Dogtown" bullets so I stocked up. Gonna need some .223 real soon!
So, I gazed in wonder at how different Christmas in Texas is from any other place that I've lived. I've traveled during Christmas and been in Mexico and the Bahamas for Christmas but the holiday in Texas is a whole different trip!
Please feel free to share some things that make Christmas in Texas unique for you!
