Boxing Day?
Happy Boxing day!
And no, that does not mean you should go boxing. It is traditionally known as the day after Christmas. But in the Middle ages, it was the time when the employers would give their servants holiday bonuses. For people today, it is a bank holiday, and the day that we spend playing with our gifts. It is also St. Stephens day.

Merry Christmas Eve!!! =)
What's your favorite part about Christmas? What are some of the traditions that your family usually do? Do you guys go sledding? Drink hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire? Roast chestnuts maybe?
Most of all, what's the real reason of the season? Do you know?
Hola!
I AM supposed to be posting on here sometimes, so I suppose I should get better at this. =P
By the way, I really just love that photo. It was my profile pic for awhile, but I just needed a change. (If you can call a red haired girl archer a change. I call that a change. A big change.)
Funny story about the red haired archer profile picture--
OK, so I was replying to a comment on one of my posts, and I hadn't used the pic yet in a comment, and I published my comment and it popped up and I was like "WHOA! WHO JUST COMMENTED?!" (It was really strange, too, because I always have comment moderation on my blogs...) And that's when I went and realized it was me. =P Yeah, I'm feeling not very smart right now, lol.
I was wondering--how do you guys like this blog design? (I do Otter Days' designs) I was thinking of redoing it..... please talk to me about this....
Later gator. ;)

What does the twelve days of Christmas mean?
Who knows what the song, "The Twelve days of christmas" means? Well, a couple days ago I found out.
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.
-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.-
-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.
-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.
Well there is your lesson for the day!
I will try to get back into posting!
