Well, it is only the FIRST day of Christmas for me!!! I am going to enjoy it to the fullest....... Here is some interesting information for you. You can also do some research on the web about it, too!!!

The Twelve Days of Christmas is probably the most misunderstood part of the church year among Christians who are not part of liturgical church traditions. Contrary to much popular belief, these are not the twelve days before Christmas, but in most of the Western Church are the twelve days from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany (January 6th; the 12 days count from December 25th until January 5th). In some traditions, the first day of Christmas begins on the evening of December 25th with the following day considered the First Day of Christmas (December 26th). In these traditions, the twelve days begin December 26 and include Epiphany on January 6.

So to YOU all Today, the FIRST day of Christmas........ MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

I have never heard that. Interesting.
