Merry Christmas : Celebrating "The Twelve Days of Christmas"

Tradition in many cultures continues today with a lovely celebration of the twelve days of Christmas through until the 5th or 6th of January.

The celebration of the Epiphany with a King's cake galette des Roi in Quebec city, symbolising the journey of the Three Wise Men to baby Jesus, in biblical times, still continues with several bakeries offering this cake in my neighbourhood.

I love the idea that I can continue wishing family and friends a Merry Christmas into the New Year!

Decorations and festivities can stay up around the house.

There's no need to tear down the tree with all its trimmings straight away.

It is even said that Shakepeare's Twelfth_Night_(holiday) is an ode to the celebratory end of the twelve days of Christmas.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
