Sleighin’ It Texas Style: A Cowboy Santa Texas Christmas Shirt

The words stack in two tiers, “Sleighin’ It” over “Texas Style,” with a small star set between them like a brand on a ranch gate. Below them, Santa has traded the sleigh for a pickup. He leans on the tailgate in a shearling-trimmed coat and cowboy hat, sunglasses on, holding a tin mug with a star on it. Our Cowboy Santa Texas Christmas shirt is for the person in your family who has always done the holidays their own way, boots on and truck running.

His belt buckle is big, his jeans are worn in, and his boots are crossed at the ankle. He’s in no hurry. A man who delivers presents across the whole world can apparently afford to stand around a while when the road is Texas.

A Wreath on the Tailgate and a Dog at His Boots

Around him the scene fills in. A wreath with a bow hangs on the tailgate, a plaid blanket is thrown over the edge, and the truck bed holds a small tree and a stack of wrapped gifts. Behind him a windmill stands past a wooden fence with a bow tied to the post, and a dusting of snow sits on dry grass. At his boots, a dog in a bandana lies down like it has done this every December.

We made this for the Texas dad who hauls the tree home in the truck bed and the grandfather who wears his good belt buckle to Christmas dinner. It also suits the daughter who moved away and still wants a bit of the ranch road with her when the holidays come around. The outline of Texas, with one star in it, sits just above the truck, and “Lone Star Christmas” runs in script along the bottom. The home state gets named twice, quietly.

Sleighin’ it, indeed. The humor is all in the setup, a Santa who looks like he knows every dirt road in the county and has a thermos for each one. Nobody has to explain the joke to the people who grew up with trucks like that parked in the yard.

Where does a Lone Star Christmas shirt show up besides Christmas morning?

It works for tree-lot trips, holiday barbecues, office parties, and family photos taken in front of the actual truck. Because the design leans on Texas pride as much as on Santa, it also fits any December weekend when you want to look like you’re from somewhere.

Somewhere in your family there’s a person who already owns the boots and the hat, and this Santa looks like he’d wave them over to the tailgate.
