For anyone who isn’t at Wassail Festivities and able to look up from the Village Green at Mt. Tom, our reporters on the scene and in the field inform us that the Mt. Tom holiday star has been lit!
Some Woodstock Early Birds were wondering why the Star hadn’t been lit up earlier this December as they remembered it having been lit in the past. We figured the electric lights on the year-round star at the top of Mt. Tom would surely be lit for Wassail Festivities. And they are.
The lights are a lovely seasonal beacon to Woodstock as one drives into town along Route 4, Route 12 and Route 106. Something about lights at the top of the mountain, a greeting on a cold winter night in the middle of our “wilderness” that tells us we are home.
