Today I'm blogging at HHHistory.com about one of the Christmas icons in my local area.  *****  Most of my growing up years were spent in the vicinity of Castle Rock, Colorado. This is a quaint town along the I-25 corridor between Denver and Colorado Springs. The town is named after a large rock structure that is visible for some time before and after you drive through the town. To me, it never quite looked like a castle, but apparently to the early settlers, it did. Around this time of year, one of the things that my siblings and I looked forward to the most was seeing the Christmas star shining from the t op of Castle Rock. As we were driving, we'd always watch for it to come into sight. The star is quite an icon for the community, but until recently, I didn't know the interesting history behind it.
