Publisher Description:

"'Twas the night before Christmas . . ." and Texas
is ready and waiting for old Santy to appear. You may know the story, but
you've never heard it like this before. Based on Clement C. Moore's poem,
Texas Night Before Christmas is filled with images of the Lone
Star State.
It is an icy Christmas Eve as this Texas family prepares for Santy's visit.
A great ruckus arouses Pa, and he spies Santy himself in full Western garb:
rawhide suit, Stetson, and cowboy boots. He fills the young'uns' waiting boots,
then warms himself a while before leaving for his next stop. As Ma and Pa lose
sight of him in the fog, Santy calls out, "Merry Christmas, y'heah? And
y'all have a good night "
