What is the saying? "It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness." I love our town's tradition of a single white candle in every window for Christmas- it seems to embody the wish for peace -
Of course that means 15 candles for me (for all front facing windows) and I set them up on timers so they are twinkling as I get home from work - so here is a quick entry to depict this tradition.

What a lovely page. And what a great idea in your town! I love simple holiday decorations; they are very elegant.
What a beautiful tradition for a town to adopt. Based your sketch, I can imagine how beautiful it all is. This is a wonderful memory journal page too.
That sounds so beautiful - I would definitely trade candles in the window for the tacky Christmas lights in this town!
This is a nice post Sandy...the written page and the blue tone of the painted page with the single candle....Really like it!
