If you rode a Pink Pig, I’m more inclined to think it was Hogswatch than Christmas…

Cabrillo Beach, to check out the tidepools – probably first or second grade.

I lived in Austin, and I don’t remember the order of these, but I remember going to a farm, a Mrs. Baird’s bread bakery, a nature trail, and the San Antonio Zoo.

I remember at the San Antonio Zoo they had a machine that you put coins in (a quarter? fifty cents?) and it would make a wax animal figure for you. Camel, gorilla, etc. When the figure was dispensed from the machine, the wax was still warm.
