We have been counting down the 12 days of Christmas, leading to Epiphany. Since Christmas morning the Three Kings have been making their slow journey towards the holy baby. Mary and Joseph have already made their journey and this is a nice continuation of the excitement at discovering that they have moved a little more each morning.
To celebrate this we have a ring of twelve felt hearts. Each morning there is a small gift, the gift is from nature and this year I made them small fossils and stones. Aishlyn had been studying the inner workings of the earth in the last term at school so it seemed appropriate.
There is such a build up to Christmas day and then it is all over. This little ritual is a nice way of winding down from the festive season and reminds us that it didn't all just end on Christmas day.
Great pictures! Blessings to you!
