---evergreen branches tied with ribbon or yarn (often free or cheap at tree shops)
---white, green, red, gold, or silver candles grouped in bowls or on platters
---slice lemons and other citrus fruits into rounds and let them dry (looks great on the tree or hanging in a window where the sun can shine through, like stained glass)
---ice shapes if you have cold weather...pour water into molds and freeze. Add a rope loop before freezing and you can hang your ice stars. Or place a small cup in the water to hold a candle later so you have an ice luminario.
---regular luminarias
