Houston Sunday ninety nine point one, Houston's holiday music station.
I'm Dana with producer Anthony ran into a little conflict
last night. You know, the reason of the season is Jesus.
We're supposed to be forgiving and merciful and grateful and appreciative,
and I wasn't that way last night because I'd created
this Winter Wonderland when my husband was out of town,
(04:04):
and then he came back into town and he wanted
to add to the Winter Wonderland in a way that
it just didn't fit the vibe. We were doing country
with a little bit of contemporary, and I was like, yeah,
I'm just not feeling it. I was trying to be nice,
but still it wasn't nice. So we're asking you, when
you're decorating the exterior of your house where the neighbors
(04:26):
are driving by, you know, and you want to make
it fun for the whole community, did you and your
partner kind of have a little conflict and if so,
how did you work through? That's the question this morning,
and we have got is it Katie, Katie Kadie in Pasadena,
Katie decorating your house with your partner? What was it
like for you?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, here's the thing. I have a very particular way
of doing things. I just love Christmas. I have a
different Christmas wetter for every day of the month.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
At c wait a minute, you have a different Christmas
sweater for every day of the month.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Shirt every day of December. Yes, I wear Reindeer antler
clips in my hair.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Everything that's good. He is Christmas. You get about Mariah Carey.
So anyway, Oh, I.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Just love it. So my husband is a little bit
of a great She lost the woman who writes him
around this time of year, so he's a little bit
loosing about it. And I try to bring out the
bright side and get him to participate. You know. So
I have him outside and I'm wrapping the lights and
I'm like, what do you think? What do you think?
He's like, oh, it looks great, it looks great. And
then he finally decides he wants to participate and help,
(05:34):
and I get all and he starts putting things places
they don't belong and I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Like, oh, so what do you do? Katie?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I remembered the reason for the seven. You know, I'm
still so grateful that he's here, that he's participating, that
that he's happy, and as long as he's happy, I'm happy.
And they are looks beautiful. The kids love it, and
you know, it's fabulous. It's definitely sad. It's because I
know he's had a part of it that Katie, kat
