GLOOMY CHRISTMAS IN TEXAS

DONNIE WRITES
We will never complain about wet weather, but we are probably the scene of the gloomiest Christmas Eve in America.  In a rare turnabout, most of the country seems to be having a sunny Christmas, while we huddle under persistent dark gray skies, a constant day and night temperature of 42, and a steady  drizzle blown by sharp north winds--all quite uncomfortable.  But again, it is all such a novelty here that we are appreciating it.
