I so get this one!
On the Twelve Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Twelve Drummers
Drumming … can you hear the drum roll? The Twelve Points of Belief in the
Apostles’ Creed! This is what Christmas is all about, the reason for the
season:
1. I believe in God
the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
2. And in Jesus
Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
3. Who was conceived
by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
4. Suffered under
Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:
5. The third day he
rose again from the dead:
6. He ascended into
heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
7. From thence he
shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
8. I believe in the
Holy Ghost:
9. I believe in the
holy catholic church: the communion of saints:
10. The forgiveness
of sins:
1l. The resurrection
of the body:
12. And the life
everlasting. Amen.

I hope you enjoyed the Twelve Days of Christmas series I did this year as
much as I enjoyed researching and writing about them! I learned much about
the symbolism used in the song ~ especially what they are and what I had
always thought they were (five golden rings for example!). It was a good
refresher and reinforcement of my core beliefs. Although not a “religious”
person, I am a spiritual one.
For me, it is now time to take down and pack up the
decorations around the house! I’m very grateful I didn’t have the time to put
up many decorations, so it won’t take long to put away!
For me, it is way past time to get organized! I will admit, I let lots of things
go around here way before Thanksgiving in a rush to get ready for the last
Christmas Trade Show that ended up not happening for me due to a personal
emergency! I had several custom special orders (which I’m not complaining about
one bit, and thank you again everyone!) to get out, then creating my own
Christmas gifts to give.
For me, it is time to make a list, actually make several
different lists – one for each goal and what I need to do in order to
accomplish said goal …. Now where did I stash
the index cards?
I’m so thankful 2018 is here!
I am full of hope it will be a marvelous year! It is my wish for everyone
reading this that you also will have a grand new year!
