Christmas 2007 in Central Texas

View From Jess' Deck

When many people think of Christmas (especially photographers and illustrators), they think of sleighs in the snow, white Christmases, and such.

Well, that's really usually contrary to our experience here in Central Texas, for the most part. Especially the white part.

Today, our family gathered at the Apache Shores (Austin) home of my daughter Jess and her SO, Josh, for Christmas dinner. (This year I've managed to have both the major food holidays at the homes of my children, which has been most relaxing!) The day was lovely,and we ended up have dinner al fresco on their deck with its breathtaking view of the Balcones Canyonland Preserve (they share their back fence with the BCP).

Christmas Dinner 2007

The one thing our Christmas shares in common with others is that we had a lovely day with family. I hope yours was as pleasant and that you've had the merriest of Christmases and will have the happiest and most prosperous of New Years!

Tricia - It was some terrific weather, wasn't it? I am including this post in the weekly wrapup for Family Ties, which should be out very soon.

Tricia, we had a White Christmas visiting family in Colorado. It was beautiful but the mess afterwards was yuck. On the way to the airport we ran beside some trucks cleaning the snow and they were throwing up gravel and yuck and we remembered why we LOVE living in Texas.

Wasn't it, Joe? (Apache Shores, where we were, is sort of west/southwest.)

Karen, likewise! And, yes, it is a great place to have a family gathering, whatever the weather. (You can witness some great storms over those hills, as well - quite impressive!)

Jason, thanks so much! I've been popping in to AR, but quite busy, so I'm looking forward to reading the weeks in review to see what I missed in my on again/off again visits this past week.

Marchel, sometimes I wish for a white Christmas, just for the variety, but I do greatly appreciate what we have here in the way of weather. And when we do get snow, we really enjoy it!

Tricia - We certainly do have nice weather in Texas! It did get a little cold so that made it more festive. I wish you a wonderful New Year!

Tricia, lovely photos of your Austin. I've only been in San Antonio, and that was beautiful. I always enjoy seeing photographs of areas across our country and our world. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!
