In Austin, there is a big display of lights centered in Zilker Park. It is an annual event (if you forget the last two “missing years” due to funding) and is pretty famous. There is another display, however, that has become a family tradition. About an hour west of Austin is a small town called Marble Falls. Every year, we drive out there with carols on the radio and walk along the lake surrounded by lights.
I’ve shared a few of these pics in my Advent Calendar but here are a few more pics from our wonderful night.
After a hard night’s work driving the sleigh and filling stockings (hopefully not this big)…
Santa chills out in his La-Z-Boy next to the fire.
My kids’ favorite part — they think Rudolph water-skiing with Santa is just about the funniest thing in the world…
And my favorite part with my favorite people…
I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas — Texas style!
Check out other Sundays in other Cities over at Unknown Mami.




















These are wonderful holiday displays, so festive.
Wishing you and yours family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
How wonderful and well worth finding the funding for.
Merry Christmas to you and yours also ……. Newcastle style.
Santa is almost ready…:)
Happy holidays,
see you next year!
I just love all the wonderful holiday light displays. Thank you for sharing. May your holidays be filled with love and laughter.
That looks beautiful and fun! Austin is on my list of cities I want to visit one day. So far the only city in Texas I’ve visited is San Antonio. Loved it!
Great lights!
Merry Christmas, Traci!
I love lights displays. I feel like we missed out on so much this year because we were all sick. Oh well.
