Holiday Cheer

I tend to be fairly tradition in my Christmas tastes, but I have to admit that the annual Santa Speedo Sprint has quickly become one of my favorite holiday events.

Held on Lark Street (of course), the Sprint is a charity event and just crazy fun with costumes ranging from hilarious to...no pun intended...racy.

Check out their official site.

Getting Ready

This past weekend was unseasonably warm and I took a walk in Washington Park to enjoy a sunny Sunday afternoon.

A crew was in the Park installing some some of the displays for the annual "Capital Holiday Lights." The annual winter event is a colorful drive-through exhibit of holiday-themed lights which benefits the Albany Police Athletic League.

I have to admit I've never actually driven through the Holiday Lights. Mainly because I don't drive and because I live so close to the Park that I see the whole display every time I go for a walk.

But it is quite pretty and I do highly recommend it, especially for kids.
