"The Twelve Days of Christmas" Bells...

Christmas - a magical time when new memories are made and old ones are bought to mind.

When Margaret's mother was still alive and hosting a Christmas Day gathering in her home, one of the traditions was for the family to sing "The Twelve Days of Christmas". This tradition included the ringing of twelve bell ornaments (one for each day) by the owner of that bell at the appropriate place in the music. (The bells had all been gifts to us from Mom.) Aunt Anne heard about this tradition from Lee and asked to see a picture of one of the bells. Here it is, hanging on our tree as it has for many years.
