Most people think the 12 days of Christmas start before Christmas but they actually start on Christmas and run for 12 days. So I decided to follow that and run trivia or little-known facts for the 12 days of Christmas. There are many parts to the traditional “12 Days of Christmas” song that have lost their original meaning over the years. Did you know that 5 golden rings did not refer to jewelry? Apparently they were five golden ring-necked pheasants.

I don’t expect little kids to read my blog so I think it’s safe to write the truth here.
A few weeks ago my dad and I were looking through the ads in the Sunday newspaper trying to find something for my mom for Christmas. We noticed this ad in the JC Penney flyer. I don’t think they were trying to sell any of the clothes on the page because the center square “Give Me What I Want” was what most people would notice right away.
On Saturday, December 12 my parents and I finally finished tying donation tags on 1800 bears that we will be delivering to 
One of the most fun parts for me was opening up box after box to see what type of bears we received. We ordered an assortment of bears which made it interesting. Each box was a surprise but the biggest surprise was when I opened a couple of the last dozen boxes. We didn’t expect to receive Santa bears but we got about two dozen assorted Santas. Then to top it off, there were three large yellow bears that looked a lot like Winnie the Pooh so I’m sure three kids will be very surprised and happy when they receive those bears.
