There has been a longstanding tradition of lighting Luminaria candles along the street in front of every house on Christmas Eve.  Around 7 pm, the dark streets of Crestwood are transformed into a stunning symbol of our community welcoming the Christ Child into our homes.  Over 10,000 candles are ordered, no need to pre-order. Candles will be ready for pick-up at Breakfast with Santa on Sunday, December 15th.  If you cannot make it that day, please call Chris & Nancy Gallin at 771-9744 or e-mail NancyGallin@optonline.net.
