Traditionally homes and churches would put up the farolitos aka luminarias "to light the way for the Christ child" but today many business put them up along the rooftops and driveways. If you are ever in Albuquerque I recommend going to the botanical gardens around Christmas time as there is a light show called RIVER OF LIGHTS in which light sculptures are everywhere as well as carolers and vendors selling hot chocolate. It's a great way to spend a 'family' evening that does not involve malls and the 'Christmas rush' :lol: Albuquerque looks amazing this time of year.

Christmas wrapping paper is often a pain to store, and by the time the next year rolls around, the paper you may have been saving has probably been crushed beyond any hope of saving. If you have this problem, you have to find a way to save it. Some people like to buy Christmas wrapping paper right after the holiday to use the next year, and this must also be saved safely or the money you saved means nothing. <a href="http://hailchristmas.com/">You can buy bins that are especially made to store Christmas wrapping paper, or any other paper for that matter, safely and securely.</a> You can also store tape, scissors, bows, and ribbons in the same container. When you do this, your Christmas wrapping paper is safe and secure, and left in exactly the same condition it was when you put it in there.
