Fun, as a new old lady blogger, to snippet somethingi cool here, something cool there...<br /><br />This Christmas I've begun singing carols in that quiet time with just me and the Lord. Already I have shed past burdens, which didn't add much to the season at all...<br /><br />Twelve days saturated with His holiness and wonder would change the world!!1<br /><br />Patti<br />www.pattilacy.com/blogPatti Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687666130404407814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-84638203629502915442009-12-09T21:38:35.110-05:002009-12-09T21:38:35.110-05:00Gee, Kimberly, that wasn't on the website I wa...Gee, Kimberly, that wasn't on the website I was reading a few years ago!

In Luke 1:8-10 Zachariah enters the sanctuary to burn incense probably for feast of Yom Kippur which usually falls between mid-September and mid-October.Since the fifth century the date of the Feast of the Conception of John the Baptist has been held to be Septeber 23rd. Six months later the Church celebrates the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25th (Luke 1:36), and nine months later, on December 25th the Church celebrates the Feast of the Nativity, or Christams Day. I love how this ties Christian Tradition to Jewish tradition.<br /><br />Anyhow, I love your idea to do 12 days of Christmas. I have never gotten it together to do that. Maybe someday . . .<br /><br />KimberlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-59961841469753648302009-12-09T16:53:54.207-05:002009-12-09T16:53:54.207-05:00Happy to educate you, Stephanie. =) And the boxes ...Happy to educate you, Stephanie. =) And the boxes are relatively easy, because you can do them for EVERYONE, in family groups. So it's not as much shopping as it sounds like, and turned out inexpensive. (At least with the gifts I chose, LOL.) <br /><br />Stay tuned for more factoids about the holidays you probably don't know. ;-)Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-42849878582627639452009-12-09T16:01:47.234-05:002009-12-09T16:01:47.234-05:00What a cool idea!

I'm totally stealing that ... in ten years or so when all the kiddos are in school. :)<br /><br />And I didn't know that's why we celebrate on the 25th of December.
