"fairy lights"

Caye Caulker, Belize

A day or two before Christmas, A requested that we find a paper shop here on Caye Caulker. It's a tiny island, but I was pretty sure we could find something. She had a secret project in mind which she started working on immediately after we bought the paper.

Christmas Eve found all of three of us hard at work on paper projects--but A's project was clearly on another level. Frank has long wished for some "fairy lights" to string up around our house in Seattle. So that's what she made him: each tiny figure is either a fairy or a different source of light, such as a candle, the sun, or a window. And for me? I got my long-wished for Peace on Earth.
