One of our favorite Christmas traditions is our Ward putting luminaries throughout the neighborhood. I think it started about 15 years ago when I was still in high school, but it has become a staple on Christmas Eve. Earlier today I went over to G.R. Mather's house (he is the mastermind behind the whole project) and helped fill white paper sacks with sand and candles. All in all there are about 1500 sacks that line the streets in the 4th Ward neighborhood. Sounds like a big project, but the results are spectacular. As Tara mentioned we took Kennedy for a walk around the neighborhood and enjoyed listening to her "ooh and ahh" at all the pretty lights. It is one of the simple ways we remember that Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus.
