shiner bock reindeerDon't you think the Shiner bock on the beer tap resembles a Christmas reindeer? We visited the bar at the Overton Hotel before attending "A Christmas Carol" production at the Civic Center Theater. Don't see the resemblance? Squint your eyes or drink more Shiner.

pancho clausPancho Claus, possibly an indirect descendant of Pancho Villa, made his 37th annual visit to Lubbock today. Hundreds of children lined up to whisper Christmas wishes in his beard.

This is the 54th annual SantaLand hosted by the City of Lubbock's parks department. As I told each new employee orientation class, Mr. and Mrs. Claus are part-time City employees. SantaLand has expanded in its home in Mackenzie Park. Do you remember the original location on 23rd and Avenue Q?

better be good!"He sees you when you're sleeping..." What kid could sleep with this Santa lamp lit on the night stand? There would be nightmares of short, stumpy red-suited gremlins with gleaming eyes in pursuit rather then visions of sugarplums.

petsmart santaEven cats and dogs have Christmas wishes, but there were a few who were hesitant to sit on Santa's lap at Petsmart. Like all the leashed and caged animals in the store, even Santa was restrained behind glass.

806-68-styleChrome, a shopping boutique located in the old St. Mary's hospital at 2601 19th Street, advertises itself as the coolest store in Lubbock. Their Christmas decor was cool but I'm probably not hip nor young enough to shop there.

4 drummers drummingThe Christmas display in front of College Avenue Flowers lacks a complete dozen drummers but then again there are only four stanchions on the portico.

my christmas stockingAbout 1957 my grandmother (Burma Mae known as "Mom") made all the grandkids stockings. They hung every Christmas on her mantle until her death at age 91 in 1995. My least favorite decoration was my school picture. The jingle bells are lost but every sequin and pearl, stitched on with love, are still intact.
