Bad Luck Christmas Tree Tradition

Something that always seemed odd to me - People who can't wait for Thanksgiving to put their trees up, so much that they'll have them up even a week before Thanksgiving arrives, but then a day or two after Christmas, they take them down right away. If you love the tree so much, why not leave it up just a little longer? Maybe they have just had them up for so long that they can't stand having them up any longer and must take them down right away? Me, I'm the kind of person who waits until the first week or two of December to put mine up, so it stays up until a certain date in January. That's supposed to be good luck, not to take it down until that date.



Just like the song, there really are 12 days of Christmas, but these days begin on December 25. The don't start earlier and end when Santa has come and gone. Instead, the 12 days of Christmas go from December 25 through January 5. January 6 marks the day the three kings actually arrived in Bethlehem, also called The Feast of Epiphany, Three Kings Day, or The Twelfth Night, and is the earliest a tree should be taken down because that’s the date that signals the end of the traditional celebrations.

"Christmas Around the World" 2014 School Christmas Show

Tricity's school had their annual Christmas assembly, and this year's theme was "Christmas Around the World"! Her class represented Jewish kids, and though I didn't have the best angle for the show, at least I had a good spot to tape her during their main song :-D

The songs they sang in this video include:
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
Feliz Navidad
Uno, Dos, Tres, Piñata!
O Kwanzaa
Hanukkah Fun
Candy Cane Twist
They Are the Penguins
Penguin Polka
The Sounds Of Santa's Workshop
Hip Hop Elves
Silent Night
Christmas Jubilation
