Follow the Star

It was a magical night.  We drove an hour north to our friends' Christmas party on a cold December night and it really felt like Christmas.  We shared a meal, reintroduced ourselves to Dana and Lance's family and friends and listened to live banjo and violin music while we admired their 15-foot live cedar Christmas tree.

I witnessed the spirit of Christmas.  It felt wonderful to be around such a happy group of people.  As the party was winding down, I was so pleased to be invited back to Lance's Aunt Pam's house to see her Christmas decorations.  

We knew that she had an illuminated star on the barn at the end of her driveway and when we pulled up to her house, this is what we saw.  Like I said, it was a magical night.  I will tell you more about our visit tomorrow.
