Here in Texas, everything is big, including the annual tradition of the Homecoming mum. This photo is of the mum my daughter received today from her boyfriend and I would put it in the medium size category. It is fun and very festive and my daughter loves it! These are worn around the next all day during school and then to the football game. My daughter is in the marching band, so she will have this on while she’s playing her horn too.
Don’t worry, the guys aren’t left out, the receive a garter. I would also put the garter she gave him into the medium size category and he too loves it!
If you are a Texan, you know all about Homecoming Mums, if you are not, or have never lived in Texas, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about!
October is month that high schools around this country are celebrating Homecoming. There are football games and dances and other events, all to celebrate the homecoming of previous graduates. Here in Texas, there is one tradition that has become, for lack of a better word, GINORMOUS. That is the Homecoming Mum. Watch this video and you might get a feel for what I’m talking about. Texans will find this to be hysterical!
