Trail of Lights 2018

Here's some shots from the Trail of Lights this year. I've blogged about the Trail several times over the years, because it's my favorite Christmas tradition in Austin. I really loved going this year because they added several new exhibits and it was my niece's first time going.

And not pictured is the sheer amount of Christmas music I have listened to, especially Pentatonix's Christmas music since they have a new holiday album. As a result I added a couple of my favorite tracks to the holiday playlist I made last year.

Have a merry Christmas! - Jessica 

Trail of Lights (2016)

My absolute favorite holiday event in Austin is the Trail of Lights. I've been going since I was a kid and every year I love to blog my shots from the Trail. So here are some of the shots I got this year...

Happy holidays! - Jessica

The holiday season this year has just flown by and I'm not ready for it to end. Although I'm looking forward to Christmas tomorrow, I'm not ready to stop listening to Christmas music. - Jessica

P.S. I added more tunes to my Christmas playlist here!

Trail of Lights 2015

Going to the Trail of Lights every year has been my favorite Christmas tradition since I was a child, and every year I love to share my experience on here. Texas has had an extremely warm winter this year, and going to the trail in just a long sleeve shirt was really weird because I'm so used to bundling up and carrying hot chocolate the whole way through. Even though the weather was really warm, it was so easy to get into the Christmas spirit with all of the lights and carols playing. This year there were several changes to the trail, that I think really enhanced this year's experience. Here are my favorite shots I took this year:

It's Beginning to Sound a Lot Like Christmas

Thanksgiving has come and gone and now it's officially time to listen to Christmas songs! I've been listening to a little bit of Christmas music since after Halloween, but now I'm ready to go all out. I've always loved Christmas music but for the past two years I've been obsessed with Pentatonix's versions, and I've been waiting practically all year to be able to listen to them again. In preparation I got the deluxe edition and the vinyl of That's Christmas To Me (even though I already own the standard edition... I know I have a Pentatonix obsession). I'm honestly so excited for this season and I put together a playlist of some of my favorite Christmas songs which you can listen to here or down below. - Jessica

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays! It's currently past midnight on Christmas day and even though I have to be up in a few short hours I wanted to share some photos I took this year at the Trail of Lights.

Merry Christmas

There are just a few more minutes until it's Christmas for me and here is my last Christmas post of this year. Overall, this year didn't feel as festive as the past, the weather is a bit warm and I didn't listen to Christmas songs or play them on my ukulele as much as last year. But this year things were a little different, I didn't procrastinate in my Christmas shopping this year and I feel like I took significantly more pictures this holiday season than last year. I got to visit the Trail of Lights one more time before it closed this year and earlier today my siblings and I attempted to make a gingerbread (sadly it died and we just decorated the front), which I think made up for this holiday season feeling so different. The above picture was edited with the app, Studio.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! - Jessica

'Tis the Season

Hello internet! Sorry I've been neglecting you, but I just wrapped my first semester of college and I have plenty of time to blog now. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year, I love playing Christmas tunes on my uke, all the pretty lights, and presents aren't that bad either! (The above photo was made with the app, Studio, and filtered with Instagram)

I absolutely love bokeh lights and I'll upload more picture like this before Christmas.

 

 

Texas weather has been uncharacteristically cold so hot chocolate and coffee have become a must.

Expect some more Christmas posts! - Jessica
