<\/p>\n

On the night before Christmas,<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Santa mounted his sleigh.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The presents were packed;<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Time to be underway!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The night air was chilly,<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the hour was late\u2014<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When a letter came in from a faraway state.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Santa is all ready to leave on Christmas Eve, but last-minute letters are arriving from Texas! From a little girl who is wishing for snow, to a bluebonnet, Guadalupe bass, and mockingbird all looking for a bit more attention, to the bears asking the reindeer for a play date, each letter contains a humorous request that gets even Santa chuckling. Even better, each letter comes tucked in its own pocket envelope with other delightful extras like cards, money for toll roads, and even a map of Texas! How will Santa respond? It’s Texas Christmas magic you’ll have to see!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
