Christmas Lights

Last night we went on a Luminaria Walk

 on the grounds of the Oldfields mansion.

We strolled the grounds and could see

the beautiful decorations inside.  Since

we had just toured the mansion on Sunday

we didn't go inside.

I had never been to Oldfields in

the dark before.  All lit up for

Christmas made it especially beautiful.

It was a bit rainy but not too

cold so we strolled through the

deserted gardens with only the

candles lighting our way.

In my hometown in New Jersey, everyone

would put out luminarias in front of their houses

on Christmas Eve.  It was very festive and

beautiful, especially in the snow.

I wonder if they still do that?

Then we went to downtown Indianapolis,

in the center of the city is Monument Circle.

At Christmas the monument is made into

a Christmas tree.

Beautiful stained glass windows

in the Cathedral.

There are still some great

old buildings downtown.

I hope you are enjoying the lights

of the season wherever you may be.
