The twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany (January 6th; the 12 days count from December 25th until January 5th), which is when the three wise men supposedly arrived on the scene. These are NOT the twelve days before Christmas,.
Most people know of The Twelve Days of Christmas from the song of that name. Below is a popular tale about the

In this house ...
1. We obey God.
我們順服主耶穌基督
2. We love, honor and pray for one another.
我們彼此相愛、彼此尊重、彼此代禱
3. We tell the truth.
我們說實話
4. We consider one another's interests ahead of our own.
我們考慮別人的利益，更甚於自己的利益
This is a song which deeply touched me when I first heard it in a Christmas concert. Here are several versions about the song and I think it's best to share them in this grateful Christmas season.

How does the Bible say about "Thanksgiving"? Please read "Bible Scripture Study Guide for Thanksgiving".
We studied the topic of "What is God?" from the shorter catechism in our YCF group last week. During our discussion, it reminded me a song (which is not really a song, but a poem) about names of God in every book of Bible. It's called ...

Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives?

The next time you feel like God can't use you, just remember...
1. Thumb（拇指）
Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you.
They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C.S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty".
拇指是最靠近我們的手指，所以開始為我們最親近的人禱告。這是很容易記得的部分，正如 C.S.Lewis曾經說，為我們所愛的人禱告是一件「甜美的工作」。
Ever wrestle with questions of faith? Most people do.
Is God real? Where did men come from? What about Bible, is it true?
Where can you find such answers? One place to look is back in history. There are some intriguing explanations found in a culture that existed over one hundred years before the first word of the Bible were written down.
The Chinese language. It is the oldest , continuously written language in the world . Is it possible the people who created the ancient Chinese characters knew the answers to the questions you are now asking? Is the connection between the ancient characters and stories in the Bible a coincidence or by design?
You decide for yourself （中國古字與聖經之關係）... (Flash Presentation)
You may have seen the beautiful flash presentaion of "The Interview with God". It has been spreading around the net for quite a while and is claimed to be seen by millions.
However, you may not have seen "Another Interview with God" which is more biblical and faithful to His words.
我求神拿走我的驕傲，神說不。
I asked God to take away my pride. And God said "NO."
祂說，驕傲不是由祂拿走的，乃是要我放下的。
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
As a homeschool father, I did not know September is the National Homeschool Month until I received an e-letter from FCPL (Fairfax County Public Library). Do you know that there are approximately 2,500 homeschool students in the Fairfax county? This number has increased by about 40% in recent two years. To celebrate the National Homeschool Month, I'm going to share with all of you a humorous posting I read from a homeschool forum sponsored by Sonlight Curriculum.
