I finally pulled our old family Christmas star out of the attic. My dad used to hang this on the same tree. You can see our Christmas tree in the family room window too. In the lower left of the picture, right in the Y of the tree, you can make out what looks like a start. That is indeed Jupiter and Saturn nearly converged. The "solstice star" which some posit was the phenomenon the wisemen saw 2000 years ago? If you look really close, you can see there are actually two points of light there.
