Welcome Baby Jesus

We put out the luminaries tonight, as is our custom every Christmas Eve. We welcome the Infant Deity to our doorstep, lighting the way into our hearts. Little glowmarks line both sides of our street all the way up to our driveway and the front walk. With the moon overhead, the effect is enchanting. It's perhaps my favorite Christmas moment.

I feel sorry for the vehicles that race past without noticing their beauty and charm. We are headed to Midnight Mass downtown at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Let's hope we get to bed in time for Santa's arrival!
