Baby Jesus for Sale







This month, all along the block surrounding the Catedral de la Virgen de Guadalupe is the Fiestas Deciembras, which consists primarily of stalls selling figurines and other creche paraphernalia. The plastic wrapped baby Jesus display really caught my eye. Many of the stalls have packed it in now that Christmas is over, but the baby Jesus display is still selling little Jesuses (Jesii?) at what I will assume is a discounted rate.

Marsh,

Just stopping in to wish you a Merry and Festive Holiday.

Light a candle for freedom,
light a candle for peace,
light a candle for learning,
light a candle for honest democracy
light a candle for those who have not food or home
light a candle for the bruised beauty and waining bounty of our over used planet
light a candle for those hunted and harried for having a different belief
light a frigging bonfire to give light to the great power that is in the dark.

[why not? I hears its a season for miracles and hope.]
