The Christmas celebration does not end on December 25-it begins.

For centuries, Christians throughout the world celebrated the Twelve Days of Christmas as a joyful season of prayer, family traditions, feasting, and reflection that extended from Christmas Day to the Feast of the Epiphany. Yet many Catholics today have lost touch with these treasured customs.

In The Twelve Days of Christmas, Allan Smith invites readers to rediscover the beauty and richness of the Christmas season through daily reflections, Scripture passages, prayers, traditions, and spiritual insights drawn from the wisdom of the Church and the writings of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.

Each day offers an opportunity to deepen your appreciation of the Incarnation, reflect upon the lives of the saints commemorated during the Christmas season, and celebrate the coming of Christ into the world.

Whether used individually, as a family devotional, or within a parish setting, this book will help transform Christmas from a single day of celebration into a twelve-day journey of faith, joy, and renewal.

Discover the forgotten treasures of the Christmas season and learn why Christmas is too important to celebrate for only one day.
