Is Christmas Bigger in Texas?

I live in New Mexico  about 8 miles from the Texas border,   so I am over in Texas quite a bit.     We drove over yesterday to do a little Christmas shopping and look at the beautiful homes all decked out for the holidays.     The old saying "everything's bigger in Texas" may be true!

Before I show you a few of the homes decorated for Christmas,   I wanted to share this big home.    The new construction in Lubbock Texas is amazing.....new business's and BIG homes.    

Not only is the home big,   there is a big building out back.      Look in the right corner ......

Here it is from the back......I wonder what they use it for!

Here is the same home from the back side.    

Now for some decorated homes.....







I wanted to show you one more  house being constructed.   It is located right  next door to the first one you saw......

I guess things are bigger in Texas!
Merry Christmas !

  8. Um you would need to get a mini-cooper to ride around INSIDE those homes...the old story of getting lost in your own house...Downton Abbey anyone. Crazy! Thanks for the tour,Sandi

  9. Penny,
    The decorations are beautiful and seem to be professionally done. Those are not homes but look almost like municipal buildings!! Definitely way to big and a bit gaudy for me!!

  10. It is funny that you refer to the old saying "everything's bigger in Texas. Here across the Atlantic we often say something like this - but with another word instead of Texas: America!

  11. Amazing houses, so big and beautiful. I think that in some places people are more exited about Christmas than on other so is completely possible decoration in Texas to be bigger :)

    Happy holidays,

  15. Often my first thought is how do they keep it clean? And do they let their teens have friends over? Guessing they can afford cleaning services...haha. Love Christmas lights on home big and small! Merry Christmas, Linda
