To the Editor:

We were simultaneously bewildered  and outraged by Mr Pielli' s instruction on how to “work a luminaria.” [Letter Hive, Bee, 12-19-14]

This treatise was  apparently  motivated  by an overwhelming disappointment with his visual enjoyment traversing Main Street in the warmth of his vehicle on the night of the Ram Pasture tree lighting .

It would serve him well to understand how much personal time is spent by numerous volunteers to make this a special event. Perhaps  next year he could join the ranks of many volunteers by getting involved and personally orienting  the proper axis of each luminaria.
