Christmas

Ode to Moms: ‘Twas Days Before Christmas in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | December 19, 2018

‘Twas days before Christmas, when all through the formerly organized house,
every child was stirring, hopefully without louse — yes, tea tree oil works.
SUVs were swerving in the Target parking lot without care,
in hopes the discounted Nintendo Switch still would be there.

Shoppers were frantic, in need of anti-anxiety meds,
while visions of Happy Hour cocktails danced in their heads.
And Mama in her Lululemon with her rose gold yoga mat,
got stuck in line at JuiceLand, so she scrolled Insta and sat.

Mama took a moment to check her holiday card list,
fearing there was a friend she might’ve missed.

Lake Travis at a Glance: Christmas Festivities Cometh!

Written by Cathy Hale | November 30, 2017

The holidays are upon us, folks! This weekend, many of the Lake Travis area’s most beloved holiday events are happening, so we wanted to make sure you’re ready to roll.

That Santa fellow — he’s a busy guy. From eating breakfast with him to chatting it up at a meet & greet, it’s all about the jolly man in red this month. Mark your calendars, so you don’t miss him before he heads back to the North Pole to start his annual sugar detox.

Plus, local businesses and organizations are supporting the community with toy drives and food drives, so your participation is greatly appreciated and needed.

Today it’s time to live local with a twist of holiday cheer.  And yes, we’ll write you a new Christmas in LT poem again this year. 😉

Gift Like A Boss: How Free Tastings Mean Happier Holidays

Written by Marjorie Vesper | December 8, 2015

Twin Liquors tastings

Most of us will happily drink just about anything — sure, we lust the good stuff but let’s get real here — a sixer of Lone Star gets the job done on the cheap, and fits nicely in that garage fridge.

We all know that there’s a time when pulling out the craft brews, higher priced wines, and guest whiskey is key. And there’s hardly any better occasion for the good stuff than the holidays.

The most fool-proof way to give the very best in spirits this year (and secure VIP status at that Christmas party), is to really know what it is you’re gifting in that fancy little wine bag with the tinsel on top.

Written by Marjorie Vesper | November 17, 2015

Christmas Tree Lighting at Hill Country Galleria

As much as you may raise an eyebrow at Christmas decorations hung the day after Halloween, November will be a blur that leaves you tearing around the Lake Travis area come December, searching in vain for that most perfect of gifts.

One joyous sign that the holiday season is officially upon us (and it’s time to get in gear) is the 9th Annual Tree Lighting & Santa’s Arrival at the Hill Country Galleria, a fantastic family event that’s a must for kids of all ages.

Activities commence this Thursday, November 19th at 6pm with performances from the Lake Travis High School Cavalettes and The Red Rubies and a later evening show by Chicago’s The White T’s.
