Even as the days grow shorter and darker and the first day of winter approaches, Edgartown turns brighter and depends on the lovely strings of seasonal lights and decorations to illuminate the coming of Christmas in Edgartown weekend. Candles light the windows of homes and church altars speak to the joy and compassion of a Christmas season colored by special festivities and music and theatre and thoughts not of ourselves but of others.
