What to pack

What December feels like

The Trail of Lights at Zilker runs most of the month and the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar is the local institution. Cedar season fires up again right about now, so if you're prone to it, December is not the gentle month it looks like on paper.

Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
