12th night
Today is 12 night (or the 12th day of Christmas, or Epiphany). The wise men are reputed to have kicked the whole gift-giving thing off today (which makes it a bit baffling that we've come to celebrate and exchange things 12 days earlier, but what the heck). Anyway, a friend kept saying "oh, yes! aha!" all day because he's always only thought of 'epiphany' as gaining insight. It was pretty funny. It's also the weekend of the half birthday of one of T2CGITW so it was a jolly day all around. My daughter whimsically and delightfully baked cupcakes and cut them in half and served them on paper plates she'd cut in half. (Photo to be downloaded tonight.) Fun was definitely had by all.

At least you don't start counting the 12 days of Christmas from 11 days before Dec. 25th like some people do. We're taking our Christmas tree down today.

One year some of the congregation of a church in a certain Southern state decided to stage the scene in the stable. The three wise men came dressed as firemen because they'd often heard the preacher say that they'd come from a far.

Now about those 2 cutest girls, I respectfully disagree. Now my two grand daughters.............
