On the sixth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
This was commonly referred to as the six days of creation.... sigh It was a long winter.
The first day of Twelvetide, is Christmas Day and is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. ... The sixth day of Christmas remembers St Egwin of Worcester, who died on December 30, 717, he was known as the protector of orphans and the widowed.
Whose heart of stone was left down in the riverbed today? I confess, it had me wanting to fling it far and away; for who would want to carry that around all day? -at Bull Run Mountains Conservancy.

Listen to the music in your heart and the soft whispers in your soul, letting the moment cover you in a blanket of delight. Each day is a unique instrument in the symphony of your life.
And so, I reflect upon the times when being rich had nothing to do with money, being happy was merely an outlook, being in love meant forever and ever and people looked forward to Sundays because that was a family day. Today was my big whole family kind of day.

A little bit of strolling about downtown to finish off my visitors before I bring them to the airport. It has been a beautiful holiday with people I love, mostly brothers and sisters and our families.
We walked along the Department of Commerce, with its Neoclassical architecture. Takes my breath away. It never gets old to me. Oh, wait! It is old, having been built in 1927 and completed in 1932. It actually is on 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW - and takes up 3 city blocks! So, I always have to reference which part of the building I will meet people at.
I never tire of looking up. The view can be really different from up there. — at US Department of Commerce.
And just like that, this show is over! I want to thank you for visiting my post. The support you give me is always appreciated and I thank you for that and as always, have a great day!
Love to all, Denise
I dedicate this post to all of you. You bring joy to my soul and spread your love across the world. For this, I thank you. And just like that, these musings are done...and just so you know, although we are throwing glitter around the globe, I can guarantee you that there is still a little left to take us through Christmas. Have a most fabulous day!

We Are The World
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Learn something new every day! And thank you... we have all these songs and traditions, and never give much thought to just where they came from, nor the history behind the words.
Happy New Year to you and yours, if we don't connect before!
Isn't that the truth, but, when I was doing some research for it, there are many truths to select from, which I will, of course, address later in the days. But, it is very interesting to read up on the history of things and must say that it often surprises me just how wrong I can be in my presumptions.
Thank you for stopping by to say hello, leaving your kind words behind. As always, I wish you a wonderful day!
Happy New Year to you and Mrsdenmarkguy! May 2020 be kind and bright!
