I promise you that this version of "Merry Christmas Baby" by Bonnie Raitt and Charles Brown, who was born in Texas City and raised in Galveston, is the best Texas Christmas song you've heard this year. 😀 Listen and tell me if you agree!

I heard there was a secret meat
With paprika, and spicy heat
But you don't really care for sausage
