Judge Bubba is now a semi-retired judge, living on a farm with his wife of 39 years, R.D., and their golden retriever, Sam Houston. Bubba and R.D. operate a horse boarding stable on their property. R.D. says sometimes Bubba has the brain of a gnat. But Bubba disagrees: If he's so stupid how'd he know the name of that insect is spelled with a silent g? His annual Christmas letters chronicle the misadventures and travails of Judge Bubba, his family, friends and associates around his farm and his community where there is a constant battle with skunks, fish, criminal behavior, bodily dysfunction, errors in judgment, and even hostile cottonwood trees. As Jimmy Jett says in the foreword: Judge Bubba's response to the usual obnoxious Christmas letters could easily be titled "The Bubba Annual Report: What Could Go Wrong?" because go wrong it often does.
