Holiday Lights at the Bronx Zoo

On Saturday night, we made our annual pilgrimage to the Holiday Lights at the Bronx Zoo. Each year, the zoo is decorated in roughly 500,000 lights, music is pumped in, and the hours are extended to 9 pm. People come from all over the tri-state area to walk the paths lit up with colorful animal shapes and see the actual animals, including reindeer (photo: ©WCS/J.Maher).

Unfortunately this year we didn’t get to hear our favorite zoo-holiday song, “Hanukkah linda está aquí” (Beautiful Hanukkah is here), but we did get to spend an awfully long time feeding hungry goats and sheep at the Children’s Zoo.
