With another foot of snow the night before Christmas eve we were assured a white Christmas! Fortunately the roads were in much better shape this time around. On Christmas eve we joined a few thousand other people walking up and down Canyon Road and Acequia Madre where galleries and homes put out thousands of farolitos, otherwise known as luminarios or luminaries. Groups of people walked along singing carols and hot cider and hot chocolate were available along the route. A school had an entire labyrinth lined with farolitos. It was a beautiful and merry way to start Christmas.
Christmas day brought sun and cold, but we built a fire in the kiva and the cats had a great time with all the paper and boxes. In the afternoon we drove down to Albuquerque to pick up Jake's brother and his two kids, ages 7 and 11. More on our recent activities to come!
