Twelfth Day of Christmas
Hi, Ginger here, and today is the Twelfth Day of Christmas. I’m still looking for ways to keep feeling the spirit of the Christmas season all year long.
Tomorrow is Old Christmas Day, and for most folk, tomorrow is the end of the Christmas holiday season.
It’s considered bad luck to keep the Christmas decorations up after that.
So tomorrow, we take the presents out from under the tree, we pack away the decorations, and we unplug the Christmas lights.
But we don’t have to pack away all the good Christmas feelings.
In the story “The Polar Express” if you can hear the sound of the jingle bells from Santa’s sleigh, that’s a sign that you still believe in the magic of Christmas.
I like to keep some little jingle bells around all year so I can shake them from time to time, and listen to them ringing and jingling.
It makes me feel good!
I think that having a reminder of the magic of Christmas is a good way to keep feeling the spirit of the holiday season all year long.
See you tomorrow for Old Christmas Day! – Ginger
