12 Days of Christmas Aligned with 12 Christmas Crystals.
Table of Contents
Christmas carols are once again making themselves known as we go about our business and also make ready for the holiday season. We hear them on the radio, in shopping centres and sometimes over the phone on call waiting. Of course many of us start playing them on our devices and singing them as well. One of these carols is The 12 days of Christmas.
‘The 12 days of Christmas’, starts off with “my true love gave to me” and on it goes until we have “12 drummers drumming”. Along the way we visited the fruits of the Holy Spirit – Nine ladies dancing. There is some religious difference here; some would claim nine of these (as in the song) and others twelve.
The nine shared in common are – love or charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; there are also three extras: generosity, modesty, and chastity. For twelve Crystals of Christmas. I am choosing to go with the twelve.
The really nice thing about these fruits or virtues of the 9 ladies in the 12 days of Christmas is that we all like to extend them: Not only in the festive season, but throughout our lives. The other good thing is that they are human qualities and not the property of any religious group. So while we might sing of them in carols and during our holiday season – they cross all boundaries and belong to us all.
