Over this vacation the girls and I have been diligently working on a Twelve Days of Christmas Lap-book. It has been a wonderful learning experience for the girls.
We learned the origins of the song and the hidden meaning behind the verses.
A partridge in a pear tree = Christ who died on the cross for our sins
Two turtle doves = Old and New Testaments
Three French hens = Three gifts brought to baby Jesus
Six geese a-laying = Six days of creation
