Christmas is a time surrounded by tradition, gifts under the tree, lights on houses, and the annual Tenaha Holiday Hoops Tournament. Holiday Hoops has become a staple part of the Christmas holiday here in East Texas. Each year 1A, 2A, and 3A basketball teams gather in Tenaha for highclass competition. Tenaha ISD has partnered up with Joaquin, Timpson, and Panola College to ensure that there are enough gyms to accommodate the large number of teams involved in the action. This year the field consisted of 34 teams, 17 boy teams and 17 girl teams. Among those competitors were 14 teams ranked within the top 15 of their respective conferences.
