Cristmas time in Santa Fe, New Mexico!

 Two snow storms and never over 32 degrees...

 Each day is like this, beautiful and clean.

 One of the big events of the holiday season is the Christmas Eve walk on Canyon Road!  All the gallery owners decorate their shops with ferralitas and strings of lights. Many even have  bon fires and hot cider for everyone.  The walk is a few miles long once you get to Canyon Road and walk all the way up it.
The 21 degree weather is not a deterrent to many families. There had to be a few 1000 people who made the walk from sun set to midnight on Christmas Eve.

 Rachael McBroom, Tommy and me!
