The Night Before the Night Before Christmas...

A new holiday lights tradition this year.
(Shhh, don't tell anyone that we've only lived here for 6.5 years and this was our first time visiting the beautiful Zilker Park Holiday Tree). Why is it that when you grow older your sense of equilibrium changes and you're unable to spin around and around as much as you were able to when you were a child? Spinning around while staring up at the lights is definitely dizzying and blurring, but it's all worth the smiles on your child's face when the huge lit up tree comes into full view for the first time!

Now the lights on 37th Street downtown definitely give you a little more of the "Keep Austin Weird" vibe. Taylor loved seeing the the aluminium foil Tyrannosaurs Rex and Pterodactyl. All a little strange (like the new years baby holding a bottle of bubbly on someones front lawn or the sock monkey nativity scene). All fun nonetheless!
