solar santa
growing up in texas has its perks.
i love the mythology of the place.
i love the way the slogan “don’t mess with texas” from our anti-litter campaign, was perceived as bravado (we do have tons of bravado, it’s true) instead of pure genius.
i love that “bring me a tea” means pre-sweetened & ICED!
it also means, true to “everything’s bigger in texas”, that the festival christmas lights goes bigger than big.
every neighborhood street plans months in advance for the spectacle of lights. usually there is a theme–disney, a fairytale. but, for some, the theme is quite literally, cover everything that doesn’t move in blinking lights. literally.
as a kid we would drive around at night in awe. the wonderment of it all, the decadence was brilliant. and i still can’t remember those times without a joyful smile on my face that can make a girl feel guilty about all that wasted energy.
