fire crackers and sky rockets
here every year on Christmas
eve and it seems funny I went
downtown last night to see
how they celebrate Christmas
and I sure found out how
they do it the do just the
way I am telling you about
in this letter they have
no regular Christmas trees
here in Texas and have to
use cypress trees for their
Christmas trees a regular
Christmas tree would not
grow in this state any
where.
