Christmas Eve in Santa Fe

Looking up the street to St. Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe, Christmas Eve 2011.

Santa Muerta

This year’s New Mexican Santa, whom I privately think of as Santa Muerta. She’s a lovely blend of Dia de los Muertos and Christmas.

Kokopelli and Christmas Lights

The shops in Albuquerque’s Old Town are gearing up for Christmas — with a little traditional help.

Christmas Eve Luminarias

Christmas Eve — the most magical of nights.

Santa Claus, a la Nuevo Mexico

Santa was spotted in Old Town Albuquerque this afternoon.
