As the year wraps up, we're taking the opportunity to take the temperature of Austin. We've already rounded up what you all deemed the top Food + Drink stories of the year, and now we want some insight into popular ways to celebrate the holidays around town.

We're asking you to speak your opinion by casting your vote here,whether it be for the offbeat but beloved John Aielli's Holiday Sing Along or decorating trees alongside Loop 360 with fellow "night elves."

To add to the sweetness of the season, we'll hand out prizes to a few lucky poll participants.

Prizes include:

• A pair of tickets to Whole Foods Ice Skating Rink and $20 gift card
• A pair of tickets to the Nutcracker
• A pair of tickets to the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar
• $500 gift card to Diamond's Direct

Stay tuned for more end-of-year Culture Polls and get out there and enjoy yourself. No sense in being a Grinch; grab a friend and enjoy the eclectic things Austin has to offer during a rather traditional time of year.
