AWN Protocol Team Presents “The Twelve Days of Christmas” Blogs
Our AWN Protocol and Traditions Team enjoys celebrating Army traditions all year long and holiday traditions for as long as our friends and neighbors will let us get away with it!
Written in England during a time when Christians weren’t allowed to practice their faith openly, the “Twelve Days of Christmas” was a way for them to publicly express their beliefs. The song’s religious message is hidden in its references to whimsical things like dancers, drummers, and an inordinate number of birds.
It refers to the Twelvetide which begins on December 25th and ends on January 6th — Three Kings Day or Epiphany.
This time of year can be hectic, but it’s a time when the world slows down for a while to appreciate what matters most. The Army has many holiday traditions that help remind us of all the wonderful things our soldiers have brought us in this great Army adventure.
It’s been done in many styles, but this is our team’s unique twist on a classic carol; blogs suitable for sharing, liking or printing for your coffee groups, SFRGs and FB pages!
