11 Days to Christmas in Laredo

It's cold, it's cloudy, and it really seems like winter. The houses in the neighborhood have their lights and Christmas decorations in the front yards. Migratory birds have arrived from their Northern sites, and the theirs is a special Laredo Christmas music. Shoppers at the Mall seem sparser this year, and the Christmas charities seem more intense at their work. The tamales and Christmas cookies are being sold and given, and it's a great season in Laredo!

On Christmas Eve, 2004, it snowed in Laredo--we are keeping our fingers crossed.
