Christmas in a Tiny Texas Town

The community of Weir, Texas, just a few miles east of Georgetown, is very small, only a few hundred souls.   That’s never stopped this spunky group of folks from celebrating with their own Christmas parade each year.   And it was a cold, windy afternoon for this year’s celebration!   Still, 3-year-old Nadia Rosas, joined by her cousin, 2-year-old Jayden Mireles (opening photo), enjoyed the action along Main Street.    Emily West, astride a donkey named Martha Peanut Butter, did her best to stay warm in her role as Mary as they represented the Chisholm Trail Cowboy Church in the parade.  Ken Teinert was joined by his granddaughter, 10-year-old Molly Wilson, as they rode in comfort on Ken’s 1951 John Deere tractor.   4-year-old Reese Jernigan managed to get his John Deere replica up the street without a hitch as well.   The Santas were tiny at this year’s parade.   They included 9-year-old Mason Davidson, riding in a float sponsored by the Weir Country Store.  And 6-year-old Aidan Dooley was proud to don a beard made just for him by his grandma, Diane Dooley.
