I could not love this Texas-themed Christmas story and 1950's style illustrations more. It delighted me as a child and I am equally delighted in rediscovering it. ( )

I love when there are different versions of traditional books. I have the Redneck Night Before Christmas in my children's collection of books at home, so reading a Texas version is just as fun! I think versions of books like this are great to get a look at how people celebrate different holidays and traditions, such as birthdays. It's a great look at the other cultures for people to just be apart of it, if it is just by reading the book. More people should take these types of traditional books and make the different versions for fun, I would read them to my children!! ( )
