Zilker Tree Rotates on Christmas Eve

December 26, 2022

The week main as much as Christmas Day was a whirlwind of festive gatherings, consuming, consuming and merrymaking with family and friends, for which I’m deeply grateful. On a quieter Christmas evening, we visited the Zilker Christmas tree, which has lit up Zilker Park south of downtown Austin since 1967. The park’s Path of Lights ended on the twenty third, that means the crowds are gone and so is the visitors. We simply discovered parking by the tree and entered a time warp of Previous Austin—simply us and some dozen completely satisfied Austinites, hats and mittens, strolling or twirling and laughing beneath the colourful strings of lights.

A dizzying spin is a should, whether or not in a decent solo or in a bunch circle, hand in hand with family members. Prepared, search for and spin! (Flip up the amount to an applicable Christmas melody with the video.)

My gardener pals, I want you pleasure and peace this vacation season. Cheers to a 2023 with milder temperatures, a lot of rain and delightful inexperienced gardens to take pleasure in!
