The pretty lights we see every night in the Christmas and Hanukkah season mimic the beauty of the stars, which the Creator used to help decorate the vast Universe. The ornaments and lights of the Christmas tree traditionally represent the stars, with the Christmas Star on top. All too soon, however, our decorations will be taken down and stowed away till next year (unless you keep them up till July).
Thankfully, we can enjoy the real thing every clear night of the year. Although light pollution and moonlight hide the majority of what we can see on a pristine, truly dark night, here, there and everywhere, stars of various brightness and color, shine down on us.
