Celebrate Christmas and the Lone Star State with this 1950s classic that puts a spin on the Clement C. Moore…
classic. This clever, Texas-sized, Texas-style tale has entertained audiences for more than forty years. A Western Santa Claus-decked out in Levis, ten-gallon Stetson, cowboy vest, and with a bandana around his neck-makes his Christmas journey on a buckboard piled high with presents. Swooping in over the prairie to the amazement of sleepy residents and jackrabbits alike, a plump, jovial Santa parks his buckboard outside a peaceful ranch house. From boots stuffed with gifts to the faithful &“hosses&” pulling his &“sleigh,&” it&’s a Christmas tale rich in Texas tradition and language.
