The confusion about when the twelve days of Christmas begin is clarified – they start on Christmas Day and end on Epiphany. The Magi’s journey is often associated with these days, and in some countries, Epiphany is a more traditional gift-giving day. Celebrating Epiphany can extend the Christmas season, even though many discard their trees before the twelve days are up.
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is a song that most who are familiar with Christmas are at least partially familiar with. However, there is confusion about when those days actually begin. Some people start counting on December 13, but this is inaccurate. The twelve days of Christmas actually start on Christmas day.
The meaning of the twelve days of Christmas is that they mark the time between the birth of Jesus and the visit of the Magi. This date, January 6, is typically called Epiphany, or Little Christmas. In some countries, Epiphany is a more traditional date for gift giving than Christmas Day. This is because the giving of gifts on this day symbolizes the gifts brought by the Magi, also called the Magi, or Magi.
The twelve days are often used to mark the journey of the Magi, who were told by Herod to bring back information about the birth of a child who would threaten his dominion. Instead of informing Herod, the Magi bowed to Christ and acknowledged his sovereignty according to most accounts.
For many, the day after Christmas means the start of the blues. Christmas is over and all the fun is over. It can be helpful to remember the twelve days of Christmas, as many Christians still consider this to be the Christmas season. Christmas Day does not end Christmas, it simply begins the celebration of the holidays.
While most people typically do not receive gifts for each of the twelve days of Christmas, many have a small gift-giving ceremony on Epiphany. For those who already miss Christmas, celebrating the Epiphany can extend the season.
Unfortunately, many have already discarded their Christmas trees long before the twelve days are up. It is advisable to do this if the tree has become exceptionally dry. However, the Christmas tree is not a traditional Christian symbol, so Epiphany can be celebrated with or without one.
