If the skies are clear, you have good opportunities to see the Space Station in the Houston area on Dec. 23, 24 and 26. Just go outside a little before the indicated time, scan the sky in the direction of the path (i.e. from SSW to ENE on the 23rd), and watch for a bright moving star to appear that wasn't there before. You can follow it move across the sky until it disappears from sight.
