Christmas Day is the first of the Twelve Days of Christmas celebrated in the well-known song. This song probably originates in France but the first English version dates from about AD 1250. The song was a festive memory game with players taking turns to sing a verse and forfeits if words were forgotten.
Wishing all my blogging friends a very merry Christmas.

Indeed 🙂
Merry Christmas Rachael (great bokeh)! I’m ok with that song until we get so Lords a Leaping, Ladies Dancing and Drummers Drumming. I can never remember which order they’re in :O)
My daughter mused this morning that on the twelfth day of Christmas one would have an alarming number of pear trees, partridges, Swans etc. You’d have to move house!
Learned something….. (but probably won’t remember it.) 😉

Beautiful Bokeh Rachael.. Here’s to a Peaceful, Healthy 2013
Thanks, Helen. You too 🙂
Merry Christmas, and hope you have a very happy New Year to come.
Happy Christmas to you and your family, Rachael.
What a charming fellow, Rachael! Hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas. All the best for 2013.
