Again, for more information, go to the site (listed in Part 1.)
21. A VISIT FROM SAINT NICHOLAS
Best known as "The Night Before Christmas." The classic by poet Clement Moore was written on Christmas Eve 1822. He was embarrassed by it and it wasn't released until the following year.
22. LUMINARIAS
Simple, folded brown bags filled with sand and lit by votive candles. One of my favorite things to see, but very rare.
23. TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
This spans the 12 days between the birth of Jesus and the visit of the Magi, December 2 to January 6. The cost to do this in 2019 would be $38, 993.59.
24. POINSETTIAS
America's Christmas flower. They were brought to America by our first ambassador to Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinset. (I have two big ones that are now 25 years old.)
25. SALVATION ARMY BELL RINGERS
What would the holidays be without these folks. This started in San Francisco in 1891.
