As always, you are welcome to celebrate the winter holidays in any way you choose, or not at all. If that means rolling up to the H-E-B Curbside pickup and having a precut, prewrapped Christmas tree tossed in the back of your truck, or assembling your heirloom midcentury aluminum one again, so be it.
If, on the other hand, you want to get in the solstice-y spirit a bit more, there are plenty of nearby places where you can get some fresh air, get some fresh air, and just generally get entertained by doing the lumberjack thing (kinda) and cutting your own dang tree and hauling it home to festoon.
If that’s the case, we have mapped seven of the best place around Austin to do that—travel to all of which, conveniently, should make for a great fall day trip.
