Christmas in Texas II
January 1st, 2010 One of the oddest things people do here is wrap lights around the trunks and lower branches of live oaks. We don’t have conifers, mostly, so people have to decorate what they have, but it creates a very strange torso effect. I’ve never been able to take good pictures of them, so here goes with bad pictures. (The lack of a tripod makes them sort of arty, she says hopefully.)
Clusters of trees look best, I think.
Single trees remind me of an old movie, “Monster Tree Stump”.
Everybody does this.
Then there’s the Christmas pig, or maybe it’s a bear. I don’t really get this. I would argue that it takes more than a Santa hat to make something a Christmas decoration, but obviously not everyone agrees.
I have received my order and I am very excited to get started. The pattern I bought was Corbeille de Fleurs by Joseph Nigg. I absolutely love it. I think you did an excellent job of getting the order to me. And I love the way you present the pattern. I am very happy that I found your website. I will definitely let others know. Thank you, A new and very satisfied customer
