A Remembrance of the Holidays

The holidays are a time of stories. There is the divine story of the birth of Jesus and the almost infinite volume of personal stories from each of our families. There’s the story of the magic of Christmas seen a child’s eyes, then told many years later after that child became an adult. We at Texas Matters are pausing to listen to those stories and we encourage you to tell your stories to your loved ones.

Segment 1: Benavides - Laredo Christmas Story

Segment 2: The Mujeres writers group in San Antonio share their childhood holiday stories. The Mujeres have just published their third anthology including stories of family and faith.
