Earlier this night, there was a "conjunction" in the skies. That's the official term for the aligning of Jupiter and Saturn when they are so close that they appear to be a double planet or a star. This is being called the Christmas Star this year because it's happening so close to Christmas. It's been over 400 years or 800 years since this heavenly "conjunction" has happened. It all depends on the info source. We were able to get a peek at it around 6:15 p.m., a bright spot that I would have called a star. It was sitting low in the horizon but we saw it. We won't likely be around the next time this happens. In the meantime, because of all the news of this star, I decided to find a card that had a star on it. That wasn't easy. I found only two with stars and one was the card I shared on December 13th. This one with the star on the tree was the only other card that had a star. I don't think this card is as old as the others in the box of cards but it's a sweet scene. I have stars at the top of two trees in our house and an angel on the smaller tree in the dining room. So.... do you put a star at the top of your tree....... or an angel......or a pretty treetopper?
