Christmas in Texas

This is the first time I haven't been home, where ever home has been, for Christmas except for maybe one or two years when I lived in Arizona. I took these photos on my walk this morning, Christmas Eve day, along the 2 miles road from the highway to my daughter's house. img_5472

This is the reason that I'm here:

Merry Christmas from Texas!
