Christmas Candlelight Tour and the Lights at Hermann Park - Houston Hotels .com

On the first weekend of every December, locals meet at the downtown Sam Houston Park for a Christmas Candlelight Tour complete with 19th century candles and decorations. The tour features a walk down memory lane as patrons catch a glimpse of Houston's most historic homes all dressed up for the season. Other event activities include great food and local entertainment. Those looking for a quieter December activity -- and with a romantic, seasonal backdrop -- should check out the light display at Hermann Park. Stretching an entire mile, sophisticated light displays illuminate trees for an experience that's guaranteed to dazzle both the young and old. The lights are available to see during the entire month of December.
