SPORTS SHORTS n Christmas in the sky Astronomer Kathy Miles will pres- ent a program on Christmas traditions at 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 15, at Lancaster Community Library in Kil- marnock. “Throughout history, one of the most enduring mysteries has been the origin of the Christmas Star. Who wrote about it, and what could it have been? There are several can- didates,” said Miles. “There are also many other traditions at this time of year whose origins the public may not know. Where did Santa Claus come from? Why did we start bringing trees into our houses and decorating them? Why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25th? Candles, reindeer and mistletoe will all be discussed.”
