Santa Claus and Christmas cheer are popping up all over this week in the Rio Grande Valley. Last night, ol’ Saint Nick showed up in a pick-up truck (conforming to South Texas standards) to greet local kids at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen at the “Lights for Life” event. Valley Morning Star staffer Theresa Najera shot that cute pic to the right. Click here for another.
There’s more holiday fun coming up this week. Harlingen’s Arts and Heritage Museum will debut its Christmas Tree and Wreath exhibit on Thursday during a Christmas Extravaganza. Thursday also marks the Jackson Street Holiday Rendevous. The downtown Harlingen event will feature food, beverages, music and merchandise provided by local shops. The historic Brownsville Museum will hold its annual Nacimientos del Mundo display on Friday, featuring nacimientos from all over the world.
