Hi, Everyone! I hope Christmas was great for you and your loved ones!
If you don't celebrate the holiday, I hope you had the best of weekends!
Terry and I had one of the best Christmases I can remember with our family in Santa Fe.

We didn't get to Bandelier National Monument as we had hoped,
because of construction in the monument.
But there was so much to do and we had so much fun that we didn't mind.

The Plaza has been the heart of downtown Santa Fe for nearly 400 years.
It remains the central part of the city, with Indian and Spanish markets,
community gatherings, concerts, and other events.

The natural light in Santa Fe is beautiful!
The contrast between sunshine and shadow, sky and adobe is unforgettable.

On Christmas Eve thousands participate in one of Santa Fe's
most loved holiday traditions, the Farolito Walk.
Crowds of people walk up and down Canyon Road during the walk,
passing world class galleries and thousands of glowing farolitos
or little lights made out of paper bags, sand, and tea candles.
