Wishing you a merry and bright Christmas!

December 24, 2016


The Christmas tree is aglow.


Festive ornaments add cheer.


Family gathers close, and memories of past Christmases are retold.


Lights shine across the city…


…and we’ve spun under the Zilker Christmas Tree on its 50th anniversary.


Neighbors’ houses glow like magical fairylands of light.


And troubles are put aside for an evening and a day of quiet or festive celebration.

Friends, I wish you all a warm and wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, or other solstice holiday! See you in 2017!
