The first submission in our new series comes from the DeCesare family. In Cinnamin Hill, multiple blocks lit up the night on Christmas Eve.

The DeCesare family is just one of many in the Cinnamon Hill area that takes part in the tradition each year.

Houses on Purnell, Warwick, Franklin and Sheraton had luminaries along their sidewalks on Christmas Eve.

In fact, a large group of neighborhood kids, and adults, spent an entire day the week before Christmas putting together 400 bags with candles to create the luminaries.
