Thread Name: BS: christmas ideas?
Subject: RE: BS: christmas ideas?
Maybe MoonJen means January 6, otherwise known as Twelfth Night or Epiphany. (Yes, once upon a time, there really WERE 12 days of Christmas.) Jean Ritchie said that some of her older family members still recognised Old Christmas well into the 20th century. Personally I would like to be able to take 12 days off work to celebrate!

Don't feel bad, though... in the ten years I have been married, Mister and I have spent every single Christmas running around Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana so that every family member (except ourselves) will be appeased. Originally we were going to take a trip on our own this year, but Somebody (not me) Changed His Mind, and plus we bought a new car so there goes the money anyhow. I would really like to have a Christmas all to ourselves, but there again, singlehandedly bringing about world peace would probably be easier.

(Naemanson, maybe if you and I worked together on this world peace thing...)
