Texas Republican Leader “Just Might Slap” the Next Person Who Wishes Him a “Happy Holidays”

Santa Claus may be coming to town, but in one Texas home, it seems the Grinch got there first.

Sid Miller may think the only way to fight an imaginary War on Christmas is slapping seasonal well-wishers, but it’s good to see that the holiday spirit is not lost on everyone.
