Sunday, December 21st would be a great date to set out your holiday luminaries. You can place them on your sidewalk or in your front yard. This is a great way to meet your neighbors. Spend some time wandering the streets among the lights and talking to neighbors.

Luminaries are easy to make. Place several inches of sand in a bag and set a votive candle in the sand. If you are crafty you can cut holiday shapes in the bags. The candles will usually burn for several hours.
