It's the night before Christmas, and Willy the Longhorn is about to get his wish! Willy knows that he can guide Santa's sleigh as well as any reindeer, but Willy's friends mock him, saying that "a cow is just a cow." However, Willy is a Texas Longhorn, and true Texans don't give up on their dreams. When a thick, pea-soup fog descends on Texas, Willy gets his chance. Santa's reindeer don't know the state well enough to fly through the fog, so Santa needs a local to guide his sleigh that night. Willy paints his horns glow-in-the-dark blue and, with some help from Santa's magic dust, flies off to help Santa navigate the Lone Star skies. As they deliver presents to little boys and girls, Willy and Santa soar over famous cities and sites, with Willy's glowing horns lighting the way. Children and adults will visit the Alamo, see the Marfa lights, soar past NASA, loop around Sam Houston's statue, and more as they journey with Willy year after year. This adventurous Texas Longhorn is an inspiration to everyone with a dream and is sure to be a Christmas favorite for many years to come. Alan C.
