    Happy holidays, friends! If you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, I hope you are enjoying a wonderful day with family and friends. I'm sharing a special Dallas holiday tour today. It's filled with some of my favorite decorations from around downtown Dallas!

    I loved doing my annual New York holiday tour post filled with the gorgeous decorations on Fifth Avenue. Since we've moved away from NYC, that's obviously not happening this year though!

    Although perhaps not quite as exciting, downtown Dallas has some pretty decorations, too. So I thought not why not give you a little Dallas holiday tour? Let's get started.

    Dallas Holiday Tour 2016 ... come tour the Christmas lights and sights in Downtown Dallas with me! | Hello Little HomeI live in downtown Dallas, and our building is one of four buildings managed by the same company. They throw parties for the residents occasionally, and the holiday party was held on the rooftop of one of the buildings.

    The views from this building are pretty amazing, and the weather was in the mid-70's, so it was pretty nice hanging out up there. Don't feel too jealous about the weather though, because it dropped down to 15 degrees later in the day!

    My husband and I at the rooftop party.

These giant balls are everywhere in Dallas this year ... you'll be seeing more soon!

Alamo Drafthouse | Hello Little HomeWe also took a quick trip through The Crescent (below), which is a shopping area, later that day. Everything was closed and it was 15 degrees by that point, so we didn't really linger.  Brr...

    Dallas Holiday Tour 2016 ... come tour the Christmas lights and sights in Downtown Dallas with me! The Crescent | Hello Little HomeThe day I took most of my pictures, I stopped into Starbucks for a festive drink. It's located in the Fairmont Hotel, and I loved this pretty view into the lobby.

    Dallas Holiday Tour 2016 ... come tour the Christmas lights and sights in Downtown Dallas with me! | Hello Little HomeOne of my favorite spots in Dallas is Klyde Warren Park, which is built over a freeway. The tree was huge.

Klyde Warren Park | Hello Little HomeThis is another view from the park, looking toward downtown ... told you that you'd see lots of those balls! If you look closely, you can see the McKinney Avenue Trolley, which does a loop through downtown and Uptown, a nearby neighborhood.

It was the logo of the Magnolia Oil Company, and the original one still flies over the Magnolia Building downtown.

    This giant spinning one below is located by the Omni Hotel. It makes a great photo opp if you are visiting Dallas!

    Dallas Holiday Tour 2016 ... come tour the Christmas lights and sights in Downtown Dallas with me! Omni Hotel | Hello Little HomeDallas has an underground pedestrian network of tunnels that connects buildings. If you've ever walked around downtown Dallas, you many have noticed there is not a lot of foot traffic (at least during the week). Part of the reason is this underground network.

    The tunnels, which I haven't explored too much, are filled with shops and restaurants and connect the different buildings in downtown.

It was really fun, but unfortunately it started raining shortly after the start, so we didn't stay too long.

    Does your hometown have beautiful holiday decorations, too?
