As the holiday season approaches, bringing with it a whirlwind of snowflakes, warm cocoa, and the joyous melodies of carols, we are thrilled to announce an exciting journey that will sprinkle a little extra magic onto your festive celebrations. Introducing our special “12 Days of Christmas” series! This series is designed to not only explore the vibrant tapestry of traditions, stories, and meanings behind the iconic Christmas song but also to inspire, guide, and entertain you through the most wonderful time of the year.
Why “12 Days of Christmas”?
The “12 Days of Christmas” carol is a timeless classic, evoking the spirit of giving, celebration, and togetherness that defines the holiday season. Each day of the song is symbolized by a unique gift, unfolding a rich narrative of history, symbolism, and festive cheer. Inspired by this, we’ve crafted a series of posts that will take you on a daily exploration of themes related to each of the twelve gifts. From the serene beauty of a “Partridge in a Pear Tree” to the joyful noise of “Twelve Drummers Drumming,” we’re weaving a holiday tapestry that celebrates the season’s depth and diversity.
What to Expect
Our “12 Days of Christmas” series will kick off on December 13th, leading up to Christmas Eve. Here’s a glimpse of what each day will bring:
