The Twelve Days of Christmas start on Christmas Day and run until the Epiphany. They chronicle the twelve days that the Wise Men followed the star which led them to the manger where baby Jesus lay. Though entirely secular in its appearance, the Christmas carol (with this name) actually contains much deeper meaning.

Our family always believed the Christmas season continued until January 6th.

This gallery does not go into the deeper meaning of the time span following Christmas Day.
This gallery - and the photos in it - are just for fun.
