The holidays, with their strings of bright bulbs, colorful decorations, and light-bright looks, fill us with all sorts of festive longings, including a wish that the whimsy will continue.
Alas: Holiday-style whimsy does have a way of concluding too soon, and the lights, bulbs, and seasonal gewgaws are taken down, sometimes immediately after Christmas.
But wait: There is a colorful spot up the mountain, a place that summons fun hues after the sun goes down. This isn't a decorated building or street, but rather a location devoted to recreation.

We are, of course, hinting at Big Bear Snow Play, that mountain-merry, snow-tube-tastic destination. And while snow-tubing is generally considered to be a daytime activity, the Big Bear-close destination offers a nighttime dimension for those who like to tube under a wash of greens, reds, and blues.
It's Glow Tubing, which is, yes, all about sailing down a snowy hill while the moon is high and deftly placed lights illuminate the area.
And while Big Bear Snow Play's glow-centered adventures usually happen on Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays during the winter season, there are more chances to glow tube in late December and early January.
