Holy City, Holy Night
It was December 1989 and Christmas was almost upon Charleston. The city was alive with excitement as the air grew colder. The area still had scars leftover from the visit of the storm of the century, Hurricane Hugo. In spite of the decorations, the landscape still bore the evidence of that historic event. Then, from above, a winter storm, so uncommon to the Lowcountry, descended, blanketing the area in what seemed like a heavenly present: the snow fall of 1989. The landscape was transformed into a winter wonderland, and Charleston was treated to a once-in-a-lifetime gift, a white Christmas. Gone from view were the remaining signs of Hugo’s damage. From the sky had come a heaven of beauty covering reality from one’s sight and giving Charleston the wondrous gift of the season.
