1 The Current ADVENT Christmas is over, now what? On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. We all know the carol, and we all know there are twelve days of Christmas. But, did you know the real twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days after Christmas? Most churches wrap up Christmas Eve candlelight services by singing the third verse of Silent Night in a sanctuary lit by the glow of little candles. For many, presents will be opened Christmas morning, and some may sing Jesus Happy Birthday. However, when you close their eyes on December 25th and open them the next morning Christmas is not over. In Matthew 2:1-12, the wise men came to Jerusalem searching for the child who has been born king of the Jews, and King Herod called on them to find out when and where the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem to find the child and pay him homage. It took the wise men twelve days to find Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. In the Methodist calendar, these are the twelve days between Christmas and Epiphany. These are the real twelve days of Christmas, when we celebrate the gifts of the magi and the incarnation and baptism of Christ. So, if you are wondering when to take down your Christmas tree, the church s answer is after January 6th after we celebrate the twelve days of Christmas.
