Lumenaria

Maybe this is just a Midwest thing, but Matt and I miss the lighted paths on Christmas Eve. Our local churches would sell paper bags, candles and sand. (Yes, they'd sell sand. Not every locale has such an abundant supply). Matt remembers setting them along the path to his house and doing the same for others. I've put in my own hours working on the luminaria at the funeral home, so I decided to recreate the tradition, minus the pain of frozen fingers.

Found some sand

Lily thought it was great!

Though every time I come home during the holidays, I can't help but sing "Roxanne!"
