CHRISTMAS DAY -  The day we have been waiting for!! 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS START NOW. huh?! We sing a carol and open the FIRST GIFT OF CHRISTMAS! This is baby Jesus wrapped in a little box. Either an ornate wrapping job(fit for a king), or a minimalistic wrapping job (humble, like He humbled himself by becoming man). You can approach this either way. But WHO gets to unwrap this gift?!?!?! We have a system we use. Will share in the christmas day post with more details.

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS ENSUE -  In this post I will share the different ways we celebrate and the different feast days, all leading up to the feast of epiphany (this is the day the wise-men arrived)... the wisemen literally arrive in the nativity scene after 12 days of traveling through the living room. This is a big day, the final and 12th day of Christmas.
