Luminarias

Lost Los Gatos Luminarias?

Usually on Christmas Eve, my husband and I take our kids on a drive around Los Gatos after dark to take in the pretty Christmas lights that grace homes, yards, and trees. And each time, we make sure to visit the Vista del Monte neighborhood, where we're treated to a look at homes with luminarias on Worcester Loop and Worcester Lane. Normally, there are a lot of homes that make a huge effort and put these out.

But not this year. What happened? We saw just three homes - all on Worcester Lane - with luminarias this year.

Perhaps it was too much work, or perhaps they thought no one cared or noticed. But our family certainly did enjoy seeing them! They are so pretty, but also they have a religious relevance, which I particularly appreciate with the commercialization of the feast. To me, it's a great reminder about what Christmas is really about, and I missed it that most of the homes didn't do it this year.

And my hat is off to the three homes that did do it. Thank you, we noticed and enjoyed seeing them!

I hope the luminarias will be back next year, like so many other wonderful Christmas traditions.
