The Third Day of Christmas
Date: 27 December 2014
Original Gift: Three French
Hens
South African Gift: A bottle
of French campaign. That was the original idea, but I decided a nice Wildekrans
from Hermanus was a good South African spin on the French drink.
Price: Not too sure, as I
found it in the fridge. But I reckon somewhere in the region of R100.
Food: Turducken
a l’Orange (that’s three birds in a French sauce)
Saint: John
Scripture: Corinthians 13 (you can get a free copy of the English
Standard Version Bible on Kindle)
Activity: Take a road trip and
have the campaign upon arrival in celebration of the people you’re with and for
safe travels.
On the third day of Christmas my
true love gave to me, three French hens.
By this time most people have mourned the passing of Christmas and are starting
to look ahead to hopefully more holiday before New Year’s celebrations. It’s
also the time when most people who have spent Christmas and the holidays with
loved ones start to get a little annoyed, as the best of families do. Thoughtless
little comments or actions are taken way too personally, small children are
getting bored and boisterous and you feel that the next wayward opinion might
finally make you say something you’ll regret.
