The 12 Days of Christmas

This Christmas memory was sent in by Sylvia Duggan. I've run out of contributions. Please send me your Christmas memory to share!

I grew up in an Episcopal Church of which my father was the pastor. The tradition for the children's service at Christmas involved a lovely crèche set that the church owned. As children arrived the various pieces of the set were handed out to different children. Then when story of the Nativity was read during the service each child brought up and placed their piece of
the set on a small table in a corner at the front of the church. The wise men were set on a window ledge at the back of the church and were moved up over the next 12 days to arrive on the Feast of Epiphany (January 6).
