Later, we will add a piñata, Becto, the red-nosed burro! (Anyone remember Cheech's story "Santa Claus and his Old Lady?"
When you think about it, using a yucca makes more sense in Texas. After all, how often do you see a scotch pine covered prettily in snow out in our countryside? And, other than in perhaps certain Lone Star communities, how often would you encounter a German saint walking the streets of Lubbock as compared to an elder Spanish man wearing a big brimmed hat?
And, you are far more likely to discover burros than reindeer in any given Texas pasture.

Pancho Claus looks like he's been hanging out with Cheech a bit too much. :-)
Over here in Denmark, they have "Jule Mander" who's much the same as Pancho, except I think he eats a lot of herring and "Ris ala mande" which is a very sweet rice pudding with almonds and cherry sauce. Maybe Becto and Pancho would like some.
Glædelig jul
too fun. I think its very cool. Perhaps a retelling of Santa Claus and his Old Lady is in order hmmmmm.
Like your holiday decorations. I recall when I first saw Christmas lights on a "Man of the Mountain" catus in AZ. Then, there were the three wise men -- robed and on their way -- yep, cacti, too.
Just as long as you don't put a teddy bear on the tree and call it M******d ;-)

Nice mural behind the tree.
It's just not right. That's like decorating palm trees in Florida.
I like the photos!
Another advantage of the yucca is that little kids (or grandkids) aren't tempted to touch the thing. Even more safe would be a big, thorny mesquite tree.
I have to say that I love the mural, too. I bet I can guess who painted it, too. He's got real talent.
Merry Navidad!
