With detritus strewn all over the house, taking down the tree might feel like an insurmountable task. Seems like a good time to eat leftovers and procrastinate, save for the houseful of people you most likely still need to entertain.

One easy, family-friendly way to enjoy your remaining holidays might be a simple, leisurely walk down the Paseo del Rio, the downtown loop of the River Walk. The San Antonio River Walk is a public park open every day of the year, 24 hours a day, and its display of 100,000 lights draped over and around its beautifully landscaped pathways will remain up through Jan. 12

You can choose to patronize a few shops, restaurants or coffee houses for snacks and souvenirs, but there’s no charge for simply experiencing the beauty of this annual display.

Free, Paseo del Rio, (210) 244-2000, thesanantonioriverwalk.com.
