holiday events: Christmas Affair 2021 ~ Tradition is Back in Austin TX
- 11/17/21 04:51 PM
I’m feeling blessed the Junior League of Austin Christmas Affair is back this year!! The in-person event this year was so much fun! This year’s theme is “Dashing through the Snow” and returned to the Palmer Events Center located at 900 Barton Springs Road, Austin. Austin has undergone many changes since I moved here in 1981. The only constant for Austin is “change” but the qualities our city cherishes: compassion, generosity and creativity never change.

holiday events: Dishing with Dorie 12/09/19

From the lowest valley to highest mountain there are those special people that go out of their way to bring Christmas cheer to all those around them. What began a few years ago with one or two lowly scrub cedar trees decorated along the highways in Austin has blossomed into a hillside of holiday beauty.
Living in central Texas this poor ugly trashy tree called a cedar tree (mountain juniper) now draws the attention each Holiday season by so many who want to share the trees they are decorating. You'll find this display along Highway 360 between … (8 comments)
