The staff at Austin City Entertainment thrills kids with stationary birthday parties aboard working fire trucks and tote adults around in style during fire-truck dinner tours of downtown’s holiday lights. Kids’ eyes widen as trained and experienced firefighters pull up in front of homes in fully equipped fire trucks. Youngsters crawl around on the trucks as firefighters discuss safety, answer questions, and explain the function of the truck’s anatomy, including its hoses, ladders, and tear ducts. For the adult tour, up to five guests gaze at glittering holiday lights from their elevated ride as a professional firefighter chauffeur cruises through downtown and the SoCo district. The truck stops at partygoers’ restaurant of choice so that guests can enjoy a leisurely meal or bond with chauffeurs by extinguishing tabletop candles with a drinking straw.

The Groupon Guide to: Origami
Origami, the art of folding paper into figurines, requires dexterity, attention to detail, and the strength to bend paper to your will—though it may seem impossible. If you never got a chance to study origami for four years at Art University, here is a handy guide to some famous origami forms and their meanings:
Form: Flower
Significance: Creating a dull, lifeless version of one of nature’s most vibrant organisms reminds us that fake nature is more sanitary than real nature.
Form: Crane
Significance: The paper crane symbolizes a bird’s innate ability to fly. If everyone made one million origami cranes and dumped them in the North Pole, maybe penguins could remember what a regal flying animal they once were.
Form: Crumpled
Significance: Crumpling paper into a wad and throwing it on the ground will curse you to 17 years of poor SAT scores.
Form: Celebrity Likeness
Significance: Folding paper into the shape of your favorite celebrity’s face signifies their transformation from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional person, which usually happens after they land a role playing a down-on-their-luck cafeteria worker who dreams of becoming a concert violinist.
