The Fifth Season

Welcome to my mountain abode, you can have coffee and snacks while watching the show The scenes change each night, a new manger here and there built by the Congregation below In the Nativity Scene, down at the church I am the Wiseman with Frankincense as my Gift The town Christmas tree, at the center of town square, almost hidden by the giant snowdrift As the Tree is lit, and Carols sung , I light my donation to the town: The Christmas Star Every year the town folk would say the Peidmont “ Christmas Star “ can be seen near and far The community all together Sharing the Love and Grace of the fifth season : Christmas Inspired by Carolyn Devonshire's Contest " Christmas in Your Town "
