Christmastide: Day 1

<sup>A luminaria or a farolito is a small light or lantern, commonly a candle set in some sand inside a paper bag. Common in the American Southwest the luminaria features prominently in Santa Fe and Old Town Albuquerque's Christmas displays.

Rigu loves them.</sup>

I love luminarias. There's just something about the simplicty of these little sentries. Just doing a small Christmas/Yule/Winter-Holidays thing. For my own amusement and to work out the kinks of a more colorful coloring style.
