| An East Texas Christmas is a wonderful memory. The cool, crisp December air is a blessing from the summer heat and creates a frosty glow on the beautiful bare old oak trees. In downtown Quitman, the park, city buildings and stores are all decked out with colorful lights and Christmas cheer. The spir... MORE |

| going to the tree farm and cutting down our own tree, then spending the time to decorate it as a family. We
used to do this with 3 to 4 families and it was a great
way to start the Holiday season. |
