On the Twelfth Day...


I hope you still have those Christmas decorations up, because today is the Twelfth Day of Christmas, also known as The Three Kings Day and the Feast of the Epiphany.

I have never been a fan of the "Twelve days of Christmas" song (it reminds me too much of that staple of school bus trips "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"), but it does serve to remind us that Christmas isn't over on December 25th.

The Christmas tree pictured above is the 2005 Hillsborough Municipal Building tree. It has recently been suggested that one of Hillsborough's holiday traditions is having a large section of this tree ending up blacked-out during the season, but it looks pretty good here except for a bare spot or two.
