KSBJ

So, we get it.  During crazy, winter weather, Texans get inundated with info about wrapping water pipes, “heat tape,” and other ways to “winterize” living spaces.  Instead of overwhelming you with data on KSBJ, we thought a simple link (w/info to view at your discretion) would get the job done!  We love you.

You’ve more than likely sung, much less heard “O Holy Night” sung by MANY artists over the years. But the story on how it came about is not as well known. And a part of the story is how we almost didn’t have the song at all. Rachelle tells the tale that you can hear […]

My son has a love/hate relationship with the Grinch. We’ve been watching a LOT of the remake from 2018. He constantly asks “is the Grinch nice yet?”… I have to remind him “not yet” usually. But it seems like my son is ROOTING for the Grinch. Apparently, he’s also prepared to defend Christmas no matter […]
