The Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 1 - The Force is With Us

Today is the first of the Twelve Days of Christmas. 
A lot of people seem to think that the twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days before Christmas. But they aren't. The twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days after Christmas and end on January 6th, which is Kings Day, or epiphany. That is the day that traditionally marks the arrival of the wise men who came to worship baby Jesus. 


Our first day of Christmas was spent sleeping in. Tidying up. And playing with Christmas toys. The kids spent a lot of time in their bouncy house Santa brought them. 

William and I went and saw the new Star Wars movie. Of course we dressed up. 

 I'm not actually sure when the last time I saw a movie in the theater was. 

The movie was fantastic by the way. 

Merry Christmas!!
