What December feels like
December here is far more rainy than snowy, and the drizzle can sit on the city for days at a time. Graceland goes full holiday lights, exactly as tacky and as wonderful as you would hope, and the zoo lights pull in everyone else.
Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 12 nights dip below freezing.
