Luminous

One Sunday evening every December, this neighborhood presents a luminary display. For the first time in memory, snow covered the ground.

Luminaries are small white bags with sand and a votive candle in the bottom. Everyone lights their candles just after dark.

Nearly every house is decorated; some simple, some more elaborate.

This home backs up to a pond. Cheery lights strung along the fence get reflected in the water.

Neighborhood volunteers place lights in the common areas. The candles cast this lovely glow for about three hours.

Like every good Christmas parade, this one ends with Santa and his reindeer.
