A Gift From Us to the Community

You’ve been asking for them for a while, and we finally made it happen.

You’ll find them up front on the shelves . Don’t be shy.

We’ve got:

A standard sticker that’s perfect for laptops, water bottles, notebooks—pretty much anything.

A transfer sticker designed for vehicle windows.

For the transfer sticker:

Clean the window first for best adhesion. Apply the sticker, press it down well, and let it sit 12–24 hours before slowly peeling the transfer layer so the design stays on the glass.

Thank you for supporting this growing community and movement.

Genuinely— 2025 would have been a lot harder without you all , and we don’t take that lightly.

We appreciate you.

What Are The 12 Days of Christmas

The 12 Days of Christmas

What they are, when they start, and why people get confused

When it starts and why

The 12 Days of Christmas begin on December 25 (Christmas Day) .

In Christian tradition, major feast days don’t mark the end of a season, they mark the beginning .

So Christmas Day is not the conclusion of Advent; it is the first day of Christmas itself.

This is why the season is called Christmastide .

Why there are 12 days

The 12 days exist as a period of celebration and reflection following the birth of Jesus.

Rather than rushing past Christmas, the Church set aside time to:

Sit with the meaning of the Incarnation

Celebrate gradually instead of all at once

Reflect on what it means that Christ has entered the world

This structure helped early Christians live the feast, not just observe a date.

When it ends and why

The 12th Day is January 5 , often called Twelfth Night .

The following day, January 6 , is Epiphany .

Epiphany commemorates the visit of the Magi (wisemen) and represents the moment Jesus is revealed not just to Israel, but to the wider world.

So the flow is intentional:

Christmas : Christ is born

The 12 Days : The meaning is lived and contemplated

Epiphany : Christ is made known

Why people get confused

Many people assume the 12 Days lead up to Christmas , but that’s a cultural mix-up caused by:

Advent calendars counting down to Christmas

Modern celebrations ending on December 25

The song “The 12 Days of Christmas” being misunderstood

Traditionally, Christmas starts on December 25 and continues for twelve days.

“THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS” (Time)

Complete this as if you were singing the song!

Start at 1, then 2-1, then 3-2-1, then 4-3-2-1 and so on until you complete the last round 12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Sounds fun, right?
