Usually, winter has Texans running for cover, enjoying the cooler weather from the confines of their homes. This year however, 70 and 80 degree days have provided Texans with the dream summer they wanted six months ago. A blessing, or a curse? You decide. Here are 13 things Texans will need this Christmas.

1. An air conditioner

It’s going to be colder inside the house than out.

2. Shorts and Sandals

3. An ugly Christmas t-shirt

Because a sweater’s not happening

4. Some ice cream to go with those Christmas cookies

Hot cocoa will be very unnecessary

5. Christmas movies

At least it will be snowing on your screen

6. A barbecue pit to go with this perfect grilling weather

Looks like there’ll be some burgers next to that holiday ham

7. Some lawn chairs

Might as well have the meal outside, this weather is much more enjoyable than the sweltering 102 you endured this summer

8. A new holiday soundtrack

Might I recommend Colbie Caillat’s album, “Christmas in the Sand,” or the traditional "Mele Kalikimaka" to replace the usual "Let It Snow” and “Baby It’s Cold Outside”?

9. A new outfit for Santa

BY JACOM STEPHENS

Maybe leave him a lighter wardrobe by those cookies to replace the snow boots and coat?

10. A bathing suit

Take that pool cover off!

11. Some new presents

I don't think anyone's going to need all those hats and scarves you bought.

12. A miracle

Maybe a white Christmas is too much to ask for, but how about an overnight cool front?

13. A camera

The true meaning of Christmas matters more than the weather. So make some memories this holiday.
