Santa Claus Is A Texas Cowboy

Published: Dec. 5, 2006, noon

b'Bob Loftis, 1974 \\u2014 The premise is simple: contrary to popular belief, Santa Claus is in fact a Texan, and something of a cowboy, though instead of roping/herding cattle, he laughs a lot and sings for his herd of reindeer. As they say, everything\\u2019s bigger in Texas, and you can\\u2019t get much bigger than Santa. This is a novel idea, of course, but Loftis presents practically zero evidence to back up his claim \\u2014 even the anecdotal evidence you\\u2019d expect to be in a song devoted to the subject \\u2014 so I\\u2019m unconvinced.'
