12 days of Christmas! is the time between Dec 25-Jan 6th
Day #2
It's the twelve days of Christmas approaching...and remember this song~
If we start with the first day of Christmas in Religious symbolism it means True Love refers to God..."On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree"
Let's remember Love and the meaning of true love...God's love....
In this last two weeks of busy, distracting, and last minute gift shopping think about the 12 days of Christmas lyrics and what is the symbolism behind each day and let our hearts be open to those we love and care around us...
