Trail of Lights, Austin, Texas 2005

---

Grrrissssmas!!!!

Every Christmas Austin has the Trail of Lights at Zilker Park. Its a fun fest filled with fun, lights, people, Christmas, and funnel cake. The trees are decorated and companies sponsor little holiday scenes for you to walk through. By far my favorite section is the entry way with its tunnel of Christmas lights. After that I must say I enjoy the warm funnel cake sprinkled with powdered sugar. If it were bitterly cold as it was the first year I visited then the fire pit with its huge logs burning would be a favorite of mine too. But this is Texas. Winter sometimes lasts for two weeks.

The Tree of Lights is the main event here. People either start their trip here or end it there. For the coolest effect stand underneath the tree, look up, and spin in a circle. It is best to hold hands (with a loved one works best) and spin, spin, spin! The lights start to dazzle and blend together.

Afterwards you feel all Christmassy and stuff.
