Ang init mula sa sigang ito ay naging kaaya-aya noong isang malamig na gabi ng Disyembre.  Kahit malamig ang panahon, hindi kami natitigil sa aming tahanan!  Namasyal kami sa Trail of Lights, na taunang dinaraos sa Zilker Park dito sa Austin..  Malapit sa paradahan ng mga sasakyan ay isang sigang nababakuran.  Ang mga tao’y lumalapit dito upang magpainit bago at matapos sumabak sa pamamasyal at pagtingin sa mga naggagandahang mga display sa Trail of Lights.

Ang isa ko pang lahok para sa LP: Mga Pula sa Workshop ni Santa

(The warmth from this fire was very welcoming that one cold December night when we visited the Trail of Lights.  The Trail of Lights is a yearly attraction at Zilker Park here in Austin.  Near the parking lot and what I’d like to call the main gathering space before one enters the trail is a fenced bonfire.  People gather around the fire to keep warm before and after viewing the beautiful light display at the trail.)

It was a chilly night when we went to Schlitterbahn’s Hill Country Christmas with some of our friends on December 27th.  Come to think of it, it wasn’t just chilly.  It was in fact freezing! We would have welcomed heated blanket!

One of the attractions at this famous summer-destination-turned-winter-wonderland was the ice skating rink.  Almost all the kids in our group went to ice skate with their dads, while we moms stood on the sidelines to take photos.  Hee hee.
