Two Kid Schoolhouse

• Dec. 27, 2005 - On The Third Day Of Christmas...

we opened a cute tube-shaped tin full of .... CANDY!   Oh did the eyes light up on that one.  I think E figured she'd for once get candy right after breakfast.  Well, no deal, especially not in front of the grandparents!

(Side note:  E asks for candy every day - no lie, every single day -  right after breakfast.  She is waiting for me to slip and set the precedent, I know. So even today I couldn't do it.) 

The three French hens symbolize the wonderful gifts of the three wise men.  These hens were very valuable in the sixteenth century.  Don't know if they still are today!

... for explaining each of the traditional gifts from the song. This is stuff I never knew (hard to believe, huh?) Love, Suz.
