Inquiring Minds at Christmas


There is a bit of a tradition here within the mission community to have a Christmas cookie exchange. The person who normally hosts is on furlough, so I decided to host it this year.

Inquiring minds: Is there any Muslim holiday in December similar to Christmas or Hanukkah?

We had a fun time exchanging yummy cookies and playing fun games. Christmas Eve we were invited for an evening of worship, food and fellowship.

Twelve Days of Christmas for Inquiring Minds

Most of us bring food items with us for the holidays so we can have a taste of home. So we had quite the feast. Our friends brought a Christmas cake which is a tradition in their family , a cranberry jello salad, stuffing, rolls and Christmas cookies. I made a green bean dish, gourmet potatoes, deviled eggs, apple pie bars and a turkey.

In the late afternoon, early evening it was time to call family in the States — due to the six and seven hour time difference, we needed to wait until later in the day. As family in the States were preparing for their day of celebration, we had already completed our celebration.

The American mercantile spirit may have turned the twelve days of Christmas into an elaborate countdown to the 25th with advertisements reminding us of just how few shopping days remain until Christmas Day; but that was not at all the original idea. The day the Magi arrived is officially known as Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings, and it is celebrated on Jan. In some cultures, gifts are given — not on the First Day of Christmas, which is the 25th — but on the Twelfth Day.

Of course, careful mathematicians will notice that there are actually 13 — not 12 — days in the period Dec.
