Austin’s 37th Street Christmas Lights

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Merry Christmas!
Here is a great Christmas Lights video of 37th Street in Hyde Park. There might have been a miracle over on 34th, but in Texas you’ll find all the action on 37th. This residential street brings the “everything’s bigger in Texas” philosophy to holiday decorating.
