"White Christmas in Houston"

I know I *just* blogged about favorite Christmas carols, but I have to add one more new favorite song. This isn't actually a "carol" per se - it's just precious!!! It's by a local country group, and when I heard it on the radio here, I about burst! :-D

"White Christmas in Houston"



If you dream of horse-drawn carriages
Dashing through the snow;
Before you move to Texas
There's something you should know ...

That they don't have White Christmases in Houston.
I've lived here most my life and I should know.
I've prayed and I've pleaded for way too many years
But they just don't have White Christmases down here.

I've heard of winter carnivals in Aspen.
It looks just like a winter wonderland.
But remember while you're freezin' throughout this Christmas season
We'll be down here with Christmas cheer and flip-flops in the sand.


I've seen all those Christmas shows on TV.
Blankets of white powder; my, how grand!
But while you've got snow and holly, I'm feastin' on tamales;
Sittin' on my back porch with an iced tea in my hand.


That they don't have White Christmases in Houston.
I've lived here most my life and I should know.
I've prayed and I've pleaded for way too many years
But they just don't have White Christmases down here.

It took me forever to find it on iTunes, (why it's so buried, I have no clue) but now I can rock out any old time to my new favorite local song...in sandals, while sipping tea! :-D

  1. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. I remember having a big snowfall when we lived in Austin. We even had a white Christmas, enough to build a snowman, one year in Tucson!

  2. You just hush, Amy!!!! ;-) Seriously, they had one here in 2004, so hopefully that'll be it for the next couple decades. :-D (PS - It's 75°F today & I'm rocking a sundress! Tomorrow will probably be my last day to do that in Dec. :-))
