The Twelve Days of Christmas - H

<< Prev page

Olivia Price
Illustrated by Leo Monahan

Whatever happened to the traditional twelve days of Christmas people used to celebrate, memorialized in the famous carol of the same name? The commercial nature of the holidays has succeeded in pushing our celebrations forward, so that now we begin to decorate and make merry right after Thanksgiving. In truth, there is a quiet, holy window of time, from Winter Solstice to Twelfth Night (Old Christmas Eve - January 5) and Epiphany January 6, that used to be considered the true days of Christmas and the real time to celebrate the return of the Light. In legend, it is the time it took the Three Wise Men to reach the Christ Child with their gifts.

This special book is a celebration of those symbolic twelve days and the carol we all know and love. Each page is a verse of the carol and reveals interesting facts about Christmas, with activities and things to do. The illustrations are fun, wild paper sculptures, with open-and-close windows bearing more fun facts and stories. Most special of all, there is a paper ornament on a red ribbon hiding in a pocket on every page, twelve in all, each capturing a verse of the carol. You could make a Twelve Days of Christmas little tree or hang them in the windows as decorations. What a grand way to extend the holidays beyond December 25th and reclaim the traditional way of celebrating the holidays.
