The Twelve Days of Christmas

Each year I try to follow along with an Advent calendar, but I normally wind up forgetting about it. This year my church past out a set of readings for each day of Advent leading up to Christmas. I have kept the readings by my bedside so I can catch up with daily reading during the evenings. The mixture of readings, trivia and quizzes has introduced me to some interesting information. The one for today was about the meaning behind the song, “Twelve Days of Christmas.” I did some research and found a more in depth write-up about the song. This is some interesting reading if you enjoyed this fun song as a kid, but as an adult wondered how it fit in with the other Chritmas carols. Enjoy!
