I say farolito and nobody knows wth I am talking about. Is there a small faction of people in N. New Mexico that use that term and everyone else says luminaria?
When I first learned the distinction between the two words years ago, I learned that farolitos are the little candle lights in the paper bags.
Luminarias are bonfires.
As the words evolved over time, the word for the little candle/bags remained farolitos in the northern part of the state, but in ABQ and south of there, the word luminaria for the candles came into usage.
I'll be in town this weekend, so maybe I'll pick some up.
