Jaston Williams in Blood
and Holly
@The Grand Opera House
in Galveston


In this latest, hysterical offering from our friend Jaston Williams, "Blood" in the title refers to his family blood-line and all that means to his world. Jaston describes Christmastime during his childhood as a skittish mishmash of life on Rebecca's Sunnybrook Farm and frequent side excursions into Franco, Spain. Hear about the life-damaging Santa Claus experience, the Christmas tree that caused the cat to have a nervous collapse and what it was like every Christmas to be one of the four people in the room with the same first name.

Those who have studied Charles Dickens say this about the British novelist, journalist, editor, illustrator and social commentator who wrote such beloved classic novels as Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations and of course A Christmas Carol.
