This weekend, a Wiehnactfest in a neighboring town began Christmas for some of us. Friends, crafts and good food filled the crispy cold afternoon. The highlight of the weekend is the fireworks display, exploding into the dark overcast sky. The crowd on the street sings the "Star-Spangled Banner", thinking of our Armed Forces, with red, white and blue brilliant above. Christmas carols follow. The fireworks are but a nanosecond of how the glorious angel chorus must have sparkled in the universe. Our eyes and hearts are turned heavenward to Christmas--above the hurrying and scurrying, a wonderful beginning to the season.
