Every year, the plaza outlines all the buildings with lights. There is a big celebration on Thanksgiving night, and the lights are all turned on. And they are on every night until mid-January.
When I first moved here, I didn't really know what the big deal was. The lights were just Christmas lights, and they weren't even all the same color. But now? Now the plaza lights are one of my very favorite things - they remind me of Christmas. And more than that, they remind me of Christmas at my home - the home that I have picked and that I have made for myself. And that is awesome enough that I don't even care (too much) that the lights aren't all the same color...

I love that you have one spot that really makes you "feel" Christmas! It is hard here with no snow, but seeing the lights definitely does help!

You can't beat Christmas lights to get you in the Christmas spirit. Beautiful shot.
Beautiful shot of the lights! I love Christmas lights in the city! We are going to my parent's house for Christmas in San Antonio this year...I can't wait to: see the riverwalk all lit up...makes me all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking of it! :)

Those are cool! I love the way they were so detailed in how they hung the lights.
