Luminaries are small lights used to decorate - much more common here out West than in the East. The most basic luminary is a small brown bag filled with sand to weigh it down and a candle or other simple light inside. Often they are used by the hundreds and the effects can be quite dramatic as seen in some of the attached pics.

Great imagination from many folks.

One of my long time friends and business associates just moved to Silver City, NM. Not a BB fan, just a really good guy.

Luminarias.

Edit: I meant to include the link. They are uniquely New Mexican and have spread somewhat to neighboring states.

In our neighborhood we lived in when I was growing up in Georgia, we lined our entire neighborhood with luminaries along the street. It is a really neat thing to see!
