Generally Speaking
Austin has one famous Christmas tradition. A Christmas tree constructed out of lightbulbs. This tree is in Zilker Park. It is very tall (155 feet). Children like to spin underneath the tree. (Adults, too!) It's fun.
質問とコメント
1. The tree is made up of 39 strands of lights. Some people say it's the tallest tree in America. Others disagree.
2. In the park, you can walk toward the tree down the mile-long "Trail of Lights". Different business create a variety of holiday scenes. None are very religious. There are a lot of Disney and other cartoon characters. The displays are sort of old-fashioned--from the 1960s. For many years, they seemed outdated, but now they just seem nostalgically retro.
3. Near the tree is a huge pit (about 20x20 feet and 8 feet deep) where yule fire is burning. Huge trees that the park department cut when they were damaged in storms are used as yule logs.
4. Zilker Park has a miniature train (that children can ride on). During the Yule Fest, the train is decorated with "boughs of holly" and Santa Claus is the engineer.
5. I took this photo two years ago when Alex's Mom and son were visiting. I used it to make our Christmas cards last year. In the foreground, is one of the scenes from the Trail of Lights. In the background, about 1/2 a mile away is the Zilker Tree.
This year's trail is a mile-long display of 38 lighted scenes and also features the Zilker Tree ﾑ 39 strands of multicolored lights cascading from a 155-foot tall Moonlight Tower.Permalink.
At first, I didn't get what you meant by 「旧機」. Although we don't say 「旧機」, the thing I think of hearing this expression is an "outdated machine." Is it what you found in a dictionary? I'm very curious. ;) Well, "tradition" is 「伝統（でんとう）」. You have a wonderful tradition. Looking at the photo, I feel like I'm enjoying the excitement and nostalgia of Christmas.

My guess was "furuki dentou,"
旧き伝統のひとつ
an old word for furui, means old tradition? Classical expression though, but it is hard to squeeze in here.

Ha. Ha. Ha. The joke's on me. Yes. I was using a new online dictionary. Usually I look a word up in a English-Japanese dictionary and then cross-reference it in a Japanese-English dictionary. But I've been so busy getting ready for the holidays, that I wanted to write something quickly. I'm glad you were able to figure out what I meant.
Here's what the dictionary returned. Obviously I picked the wrong one.
