The scene

A cold night, hot chocolate, snow coming down, and decorations worth looking at. Outside, snow banks up on the bushes and trees and throws blue and purple shadows across the yard.

Inside, holly-red candles burn in the windows. A six-foot Fraser fir fills the room with the smell of fresh evergreen; multicolored lights blink against silver tinsel. On the branches, family heirlooms hang beside bright new baubles, and a lit gold star sits at the top — the Star of Bethlehem, in miniature.

Across the street the neighbors have hung a small wreath on a snow-dusted front door, with their own tree glowing in the window. These decorations carry more tradition than anyone stops to think about, which is exactly why they go up every year.
