Hook The Halls

BY Janelle Sosa in Alcalde Online on December 20, 2022

We all know the colors of the holiday season: red, green, and maybe even white or gold. However, members of Longhorn Nation have found ways to incorporate a little burnt orange into their holiday décor. We received photos from Longhorns who know how to show their Texas pride no matter what time of year it is.

“Each year, as one of five trees we display, my basement gets the burnt-orange and white treatments.  We moved to Atlanta from Dallas seven years ago and are looking forward to the move to the SEC!”

We think every Christmas tree should be topped with a football.

“I’m a professional communications teacher at United South High School and wanted to send pictures of the UT Christmas decor in my classroom.” Talk about inspiring future Longhorns! 

Happy Holidays and hook 'em Horns!
