Cody Johnson’s big house on his ranch is being remodeled. So for Christmas his plans this year have changed a bit. “Right now we’re remodeling everything, so now we’re living in a trailer house. So, this year, while waiting for our home to be finished, I’m going to take them on vacation and we’re going to go someplace in the snow…which may wind up being a new tradition. In Texas, we don’t have white Christmases, and if you do, you’re generally outside repairing and wrapping pipes.”
