Is it even really Christmas here in Texas the world without Robert Earl Keen's "Merry Christmas from The Family" blasting through the speakers? No. It's not.

I'd never even heard the song until I was a fully grown man, the age of 18; and that first time I did hear it was actually the first time I felt alive, truly. The heavens opened up and I achieved a level of clarity no person ever had before me.

Today the legendary Texan revealed the dates and cities for, if my calculations are correct, his 10th annual Christmas Tour.

REK’s 2021 Christmas Tour! Our annual Christmas show is always the highlight of the year. “Hallelujah everybody say cheese. Merry Christmas from the Fam-o-lee!”

I hope, for the sake of your holiday season, Keen is making his way to your hometown. Otherwise, ROAD TRIP! Here's everywhere the Hall of Famer will be the last month of 2021.

Here are 14 Exotic Animals That You Can Own in Texas

Texas has an estimated 7.2 million dogs, more than any other state, this according to the American Veterinary Association. Safe to say, dogs are a Texan's best friend. But perhaps you’re interested in branching out a bit and adding a less common exotic pet to your home.

Granted a few of these exotics are regulated and will require permits.
