Picture the setting: The night is clear and cool. The river is calm and still. You are bundled and warm except for the pleasant tingle of a chill on your cheeks. The only light visible is the moon. The boat crosses under a bridge and suddenly you are traveling through a fairyland of twinkling lights that radiate the warmth of Christmas in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
