Today is the 2nd Day of Christmas. We'll spend it visiting with some family that we couldn't see yesterday, and relaxing (yesterday was a LONG day...).
There are those who believe that the lyrics to the familiar song "The 12 Days of Christmas" were a pneumonic device to help Catholic children learn their faith during that time in English history when Catholicism was outlawed. The jury's still out on the veracity of the claim, but it's still a good thing to remember when you're singing the carol:
On the first day...the partridge in the pear tree stands for JESUS.
On the second day...the two turtle doves stand for the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS.
How are you going to celebrate the 2nd day of Christmas?
