In this special Christmas bonus episode of The Texan Edge, Tweed Scott shares a deeply personal holiday reflection drawn straight from his own life and family history. 

Without a Doubt is a story about Christmas memories—not the kind wrapped in paper, but the kind wrapped in people. From crowded Italian family gatherings filled with laughter and food, to a surprise journey home in Navy dress blues during a snowy New Hampshire Christmas, this episode explores how time, love, and memory intertwine. 

It’s a quiet, reflective story about gratitude, faith, second chances, and the people who shape us long after they’re gone. Settle in, take a breath, and enjoy a little extra warmth and wonder this Christmas season.
