You know it’s almost Christmas here in downtown Austin when…
…Santa makes an appearance at the Austin Farmers’ Market.
…Trail of Lights characters guard The Long Center terrace.
…the Tinplate Trackers set up their model train display across from City Hall.
…the gift table at the Austin Ballet’s The Nutcracker looks very tempting.
…the Zilker Tree shines brightly every night.
…the little people at Compass Learning don their Santa hats (while still rooting for the Texas teams in the bowl games).
