Christmas Texas Style


There's nothing small about Texas.

The night we arrived, we -- along with a mass of other people -- made our way to Zilker Park to walk through the Trail of Lights.

While we waited in line, we did things Texas style -- big -- and attempted to get into the Guinness Book of World Record for the largest number of people singing a Christmas carol together.  The word is still not in as to whether we were successful, but it did make the waiting pass pleasantly.

We wore our headlamps to help distinguish us from the others in a crowd.  It did.  I heard one person comment, "There goes the miner family."


Everything was big on Christmas:  a big gathering of family, a big heap of gifts, a big feast, and all-around big generosity, love, and kindness.

Merry Christmas!
Tomorrow we begin the process of totally emptying out the car, cleaning it, and re-organizing for our trip down to Big Bend.

  1. I've heard of having everyone wear the same color shirt, but using mining headlamps to keep track of your family is so much cooler! Love it! :)
