Day 347
During the Christmas Season, there are all sorts of Traditions. Traditions we learned as children. Some traditions we created on our own or adapted as we grew older and esp. when we had our own children.
As a fairly new couple Robert has started his own tradition.
Each day before Christmas I find a small token to be opened. Each item means something to Robert and to myself.

| On the 12th Day Before Christmas my true love gave to me.... |
I am thinking that he shows his love with flowers and that he thinks that I am as lovely as a bouquet of flowers.
They are truly beautiful and grace our table so wonderfully! Thank you Robert! xx
I will take a photo of the other items I may receive and post at the end of the blog instead of a quote!
Until tomorrow

"it's not how much we give but how much love we put into the giving." Mother Theresa
The song is believed to have started as a "memory-and-forfeit" game in 1800s England. These types of games were played by British school children, and the rules were simple. When it's your turn, you repeat all the previously sung lyrics, and add the next one. If you cannot remember a verse, you owe your opponent a "forfeit," which was usually a kiss or piece of candy. The total number of gifts to, from the song tom be given, is actually 364. "The 12 Days of Christmas" is much better as a song than an actual gift however it does suggest that giving year round is a possibility.
