Every Christmas Eve, my family journeys to Albuquerque’s Old Town, where the subject of my 12/24/25 postcard rises from the center of Old Town, wrapped in light and framed by strings of bulbs overhead, a towering Christmas tree. The night holds many memories for me as people gather at its base, the glow turning the plaza into a place of shared celebration.
