A Partridge In A Pear Tree
Enclosed Gazebos Depicting the Different Verses of
The Twelve Days of Christmas
They are available for viewing at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Dallas, Texas.
These gazebos looked beautiful in the sunshine November 20th; day we visited.
A couple of years ago I saw them at night when they were all lit up and they look quite different and stunning at night.
Each of the gazebos contents are rotating in a circle and a different Classic Christmas song is playing at each one.
These are so fun to see in person and my photos don't quite capture how impressive they are.
If you are ever in Dallas this time of year they are available for viewing for about 6 weeks.
Holiday at the Arboretum features the return of the magnificent The 12 Days of Christmas outdoor exhibit, as well as 500,000 lights throughout the garden at night, trimming the architecture of the historic homes and lighting the canopies overhead—including a 30-foot-tall tree at the center of property. source
I plan on sharing more photos of the other
Twelve Days of Christmas gazebos!
Have a Blessed Day!

great post and very nice photography nice place
Wow awesome photos you share here.. happy Xmas in advance to you and family @violetmed
It seems like the advent of Christmas has begun @violetmed,
Even though our church begins singing for the Christmas choir and preparing for Christmas worship service I didn't think about Christmas much until I saw this. We have a tree at home and I think it is time to put it up. One Korean teacher in our school used to put up a tree in his classroom. No one ever told him to take it down. Blessed Advent.
Than you, yes I just set out my Advent wreath on our dining room table, since the first Sunday in Advent was December 2. Haha, I only have up a Christmas wreath so far on my front door. I'll probably put my tree up soon - but I'm in no rush. I like to leave my Christmas tree up through Epiphany - the 12th day of Christmas - January 6th.
Howdy violetmed! wow...stunning. That place must be even more amazing this time of year at night. There are historic homes there too?
Yes, the Degolyer home was built in 1940 with many acres of gardens/land around it. The Degolyer children gave the estate and the gardens to SMU who later sold the home and gardens to the city of Dallas. In 1977, the City of Dallas Park Board recommended that the grounds of the DeGolyer Estate, which the city purchased from Southern Methodist University, be the official location of the botanical garden. The other historic house is called the Camp house for the people who built it and lived there. Eventually The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden was opened in 1984.
howdy violetmed! that is so interesting, thank you! I gotta get down there, it sounds like such an amazing area and the pictures you've shown us are fabulous!
