Re: All things luminary.

Well, because we live on a very dark street that gets a fair amount of traffic, we did luminaries last year for Christmas Eve. It didn't slow traffic down much ( a constant problem here, despite the town always changing signs), but hopefully, it gave drivers some pause for thought, as they were going wherever they were going in such a fever.

Here's some photo's of 09's luminary.

I wanted to take it one step further this year, so I did cutouts that spell out Merry Christmas. I ran out of time before the 7 o'clock hour approached, (when I had instructed invitees to arrive), so I had to shorten it to X-mas, but the result was still pretty good. It's one of the loveliest things I've done in awhile and helps me to deal with the fact that I am pretty much house-bound this year, due to surgical complications.

Here's a photo of that attempt.

I tried putting these out there, facing the highway, but they are too small (only 6 inches), so I turned them around so only people driving down our street (and us), could see them. Next year, we'll do really big letters on grocery bags, (if they still exist), so they can be seen from route 7.

That's it for today, since it's Christmas and I gotta go make some Posole' (with all our own vegetables), for dinner, later.
