"Christmasy" Things To Do In And Around ABQ? (Albuquerque: outlet mall, vacation)

[DonJuanQuixote]

So my wife and her family is from out-of-the-country and I want to show them a little Christmas spirit New Mexico style. So far we've gone to Old Town ABQ to see the tree lighting and will be going to a nutcracker ballet.

What do you like to do during the holidays here? Where do you go to see cool lights, etc?

Thanks!

Do they still do Christmas lights at Budaghers between Albuquerque and Santa Fe? I remember going to a Christmas event there years ago.

Budaghers doesn't really exist anymore other than as a highway exit. The original rest stop has been gone for decades and the outlet mall someone built on Santo Domingo land in the 90s has been vacant for at least the last 5 years.

Hey guys... I'm a visitor here. Could any one let me know which tour operators are available to go to Great Canyon and Colarado? Also what is the way for local sight seeing?
