Holiday Lights

Holiday Lights
November 28-December 19, 2008
Fridays at 7:30 PM

With each passing night, the Sun sets earlier and earlier; our nights get longer, and our days colder. Soon the holiday season will be upon us. On these clear, dark nights we see the same stars our ancestors saw when their solstice celebrations established many of our modern holiday customs. A perfect program for the holidays, Holiday Lights traces the origins of our calendar and our holiday celebrations, and examines how they are both related to the flickering points of light we call the stars.
