Bethlehem star decoration – a trail of warm light down to the stable

Short on table and mantel space, but have a bare stretch of wall? This tall decoration places a sculpted star at the top, the Holy Family at the bottom and a line of small warm lights in between.

What sets this star decoration apart

The eye goes to the star first and then follows the light down to the stable. By day you notice the shapes and the greenery. In the evening the lights lead.

• Cascade of lights: warm points of light drop from the star toward the scene.
• Sculpted star: a layered Bethlehem star crowns the piece.
• Silhouette scene: Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus shown in outline.
• Evergreen accents: branches, berries, pinecones and a brass-colored bow.
• Small stars: extra stars float in the space around the figures.

Simple, quiet and traditional.

Hang it in the entry, beside the stairs or next to the Christmas tree. A covered porch out of the weather works as well. Many families bring a piece like this out every December.
