the 12 days of christmas

Kristine at Mama Archer’s Blog wrote about the 12 Days of Christmas. She writes,

The Twelve Days of Christmas as a celebration and festival is old and steeped in traditions from Christian cultures around the world. For many, the idea of the 12 days as a length of celebration is based on a sequence of verses in the Holy Bible (Matthew 2:1-12), and a belief that it may have taken 12 days for the three kings (also called wise men or magi) to travel to Bethlehem.

It’s an excellent post ~ you can read the whole thing here.

    Trish-
    I love it when people link to me, as long as it is for a good reason! :0)

    We put our tree up earlier than that but wait until Epiphany to take it down. I will post on advent soon!
