With Hanukkah recently concluded and Christmas just around the corner, weâre all gearing up to celebrate the holidays the best we can. While the pandemic bars some of our usual traditions, itâs no surprise that Texans are working hard to keep the Christmas spirit alive and doing their part to spread only joy this season. All across the state, as weather fluctuates unpredictably between warm and cold, cowboy-booted gingerbread men are baking in the oven, tamales are being prepared by families in the kitchen and Christmas trees are being adorned with lights and homemade ornaments. Christmas caroling is still on deck â with some modifications â but that hasnât swayed folks in Lubbock from sharing holiday tunes this season. The Buddy Holly Centerâs Caroling in the Courtyard event has gone virtual and will be posted online for those near and far to see. While this isnât your traditional idea of caroling, itâs just one example of how we can still support each other and stay safe while celebrating this holiday season, all while paying tribute to Texasâs own rock ânâ roll pioneer.
