Christmas Eve's star is the herald: Mirzam, beta Canis Majoris, 'the announcer' in Arabic, so named because it rises just before Sirius and proclaims the Dog Star's coming — a pulsating giant of magnitude 1.98. Forerunner and premonition are its star words, and as the date turns it throbs on the meridian. The night's color is Egg Plant (#241B36), a deep aubergine read as transition. In the festive dark, the first light is always the one that announces.
