The
Twelve Days of Christmas is a song you
probably either love or hate.
Do you think it's a cute or silly little song
and have you ever wondered what on earth it meant?!?
"On the First day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,
a Partridge in a Pear Tree..."
...a Partridge in a Pear Tree represents God the Father,
the eternal creator of all.
The song The Twelve Days of Christmas is an old English song
with each day representing a different teaching about the church.
When are the Twelve Days of Christmas?
The Twelve Days of Christmas begin on December
25th
Christmas Day is the first day of the Christmas
season
January 5th is the twelfth day of the Christmas

Christmas does not end on December 25th

It has just begun!
