Every December, our town holds the Firebird Festival, where they build a big wooden bird and set it on fire. There’s talk about the seasons and the symbolism of the phoenix, renewal and rebirth and life marching on in rolling patterns. There’s food and music and lots of neighbors — and it’s just nice to gather around a fire on a cold winter night. A big fire. The bird is 30 feet (10 meters) tall. Here are some photos:
