6 Texas Traditions to Celebrate The Holidays This Year

The holiday season is a time for creating cherished memories—and what better way to embrace the spirit than with a few festive family traditions? 

This year, we’re excited to share some of the Sales Team Realtors’ favorite ways to celebrate the holiday season. Whether you’re choosing the perfect tree, marveling at dazzling lights, or picking up tasty treats, they are sure to bring joy to you and your loved ones this holiday season.

 

Idea #1: Pick Out Your Own Christmas Tree

Do you look forward to decorating your Christmas tree like Laura? Start the season with a fresh one! In Midland/Odessa, head to Oregon Trail Trees for a variety of beautiful options, or visit Sunset Hill Tree Farm in Johnson County to find the perfect tree for your holiday home.

 

Idea #2: Visit the Symphony

Want an experience as traditional as the classic White Christmas? Add a little elegance to your holiday season by attending a live symphony performance. In Midland/Odessa, enjoy the “Sounds of the Season” concert by the Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale, or catch the Brazos Chamber Orchestra Christmas Concert 2024 in Johnson County.

 

Idea #3: Drive Around Town to See Christmas Lights

Holly’s got the right idea, here. But if you don’t feel like bundling up, gather the family for a cozy drive through dazzling holiday light displays! In Midland/Odessa, check out the twinkling scene at Centennial Park, or visit the Christmas Time in Texas display in Johnson County for a festive outing.

 

Idea #4: Christmas Décor Shopping

There’s always one in the family! If you’re avoiding decorating like Brian, maybe you just need some new inspiration! Get inspired with festive décor that brings out the holiday spirit. Stop by Miss Cayce’s in Midland/Odessa for unique decorations or visit Decorator’s Warehouse in Arlington if you’re in Johnson County for a fantastic selection of holiday cheer.

 

Idea #5: Shop Local

Make sure you fill those family stockings with goodies from local businesses! We know Amazon is so convenient, but it’s important to support our community by purchasing from local businesses and small shop owners. In Midland/Odessa, explore Ally Village for unique finds, perfect for holiday gifting or seasonal decorations.

 

Idea #6: Pick Up Holiday Goodies from Local Bakeries

Need some cookies for Santa but don’t have the time (or energy) to bake them? Indulge in some holiday treats by picking up fresh-baked cookies! In Midland/Odessa, stop by Martinez Bakery for a variety of delicious holiday cookies, or visit Southern Charm Cakery in Johnson County for beautifully decorated cookies that make perfect gifts or festive snacks.

We hope this guide inspires you to start a few new holiday traditions and make the most of this magical season. From all of us at The Sales Team Realtors, we wish you a wonderful holiday filled with laughter, warmth, and joy. 

Happy holidays!
