Christmas in Texas
is traditional … wacky … wonderful!
As Texas’ award-winning photographers enjoy showing here, the weather can be tropical or arctic. A Texas town is as likely to decorate a municipal palm tree as a Douglas fir. Amid carolers, children’s holiday productions and La Posadas processions, don’t be surprised to find Elvis leading a holiday parade or Rudolph on a road sign. We deck anything we want to at Christmas—be it babes, beer halls or bouffant hairdos. So inflate your Santa and assemble the toys under the tree, because it’s that special time of year again.
