Fun Facts About Christmas Stars
In the Christmas story, a bright star guides the wise men to Bethlehem. That's why so many Christmas trees have a star on top. The poinsettia, a plant with bright red leaves from Mexico, is sometimes called the Christmas star or star of Bethlehem too. In Germany, kids called star singers carry a big star from house to house around January 6 to collect donations for children in need. Real stars in the sky are huge, glowing balls of gas.
