Where are the 12 Stars of Xmas?

This Christmas, artist Lisa Cole has used leftover wood from the Walk of Hearts and Stars to make 12 Xmas decorations. With the help of local artist, Brislexic and reindeer extraordinaire Claudia Collins from Knowle West Beaches and funding from Filwood Fantastic, ten of the stars are in shop windows all around Knowle West and two are in Knowle.

Each star has a QR code and a website link to some very special stories and songs by local folk. There are also ideas for things to make, cook, listen to and sometimes there is a bit of history about Christmas. (Do you know why we sometimes call it Xmas? Some people say it was abbreviated by a scribe in 1021, others say the X is Greek for Christ.)
