The Twelve Days of Christmas refers to the days between Christmas day and the Feast of Epiphany, January sixth. It is said that twelve days is the length of time it took the Three Wise Men to reach Bethlehem to see the baby Jesus.

A TRADITION

Mistletoe is a plant that is closely associated with the Norse goddess of love. This is where the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe originated. It has become tradition to hang mistletoe from a doorway at Christmas and kiss your loved one.

XMAS STOCKINGS

Three poor maidens who badly needed money hung their stockings up to dry over the fireplace. The legend is that St. Nicholas, a very kind saint, left gold coins in their stockings that night. Now children hang the stocking on Christmas Eve in hopes that St. Nick will put presents in their stockings.
