I mentioned the other night that I was planning a Twelve Days of Christmas Dinner Party on Twelfth Night for my family! I was able to make it to the grocery story after a lovely (early birthday) dinner date with my husband on Friday night and found almost everything on my list. (Sean left early Sunday morning for another out of state training session and will be gone for three weeks... Please keep his safety, and my sanity, in your prayers!) While Sean packed and prepared for his trip, I had fun in the kitchen creating this Twelfth Night/Epiphany Party for our family! We enjoyed a late lunch/early dinner and then went to the Vigil Mass before coming home for dessert and games, before taking down our tree... I was so sad to see it go, but it is now quickly drying out, and the thought of me trying to wrestle it out of the house with the boys didn't sound like too much fun! ;) I did, however, keep the little trees and lights by the fireplace, and our nativity and Christ Candle will remain out until Candlemas! Inspired by the song The Twelve Days of Christmas, I came up with twelve menu items for our party. Legend has it that each gift represents an aspect of our faith and it has been said that this song was used to help teach catechism to children when religious instruction was prohibited. Whether or not this is true, I just love all the symbolism and am always looking for ways to teach my children more about our faith. (Note: You can find our Twelve Days of Christmas Lap Book here.) When creating the menu I drew from both the original gifts and the Catholic aspects of our faith which they symbolize. I set the table with a red tablecloth and our Silent Night Table Runner, moved our Twelve Days of Christmas Ornaments from the kitchen to the table as well, and used the lovely new little ornaments from Jesse Tree Treasures to place next to each food item. .: The Menu :. Eight Maids-a-Milking Eggnog and/or Pure White Punch Four Calling Birds Chicken Wings or Salad with Grilled Chicken Five Golden Onion Rings with Dipping Sauce Six Geese-a-Laying Deviled Eggs or Egg Salad Seven Swan's a Swimming Bean Dip Nine Ladies Dancing Fruits of the Holy Spirit Salad Twelve Drummer's Drumming Chicken Drumsticks A Partridge in a Pear Tree Pie Turtle Dove Chocolates Twelfth Night Rum Cake Ten (Lord's a Leaping) Commandment Cookies Eleven Piper's Pretzel Rod Pipes and/or Chocolate Choir of Angels I did end up making a few modifications to my planned menu, based on what I was able to find shopping. Here are some pictures of what we came up with: .: A Partridge in a Pear Tree :. Partridge in a Pear Tree = 1 Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, on the Cross When I saw the Partridge in a Pear Tree Pie over at Taste of Home, I knew I had to try making it... It was pretty simple and turned out so cute and delicious. I didn't have a partridge cookie cutter so I just hand cut a design with a butter knife. I also added some little leaves and cross shapes as well. I just posted the recipe over at Catholic Cuisine. .: Two Turtle Doves :. Two Turtle Doves = 2 Testaments (Old & New) Turtle Dove Chocolates! You can find the recipe at Catholic Cuisine. .: Three French Hens :. Three French Hens = 3 Gifts of the Magi and/or 3 Virtues, Faith, Hope & Love I made our Twelfth Night Rum Cake with three Chocolate Coins hidden inside. I had a small gift for each person that found a coin in their slice. (This year it was my husband, Chiquita and Snuggles.) I also made some Gluten Free Mini Rum Cakes, and used Coconut Sugar for the rum syrup. You couldn't even tell the difference. (I knew I needed some healthier options for myself or I'd never be able to resist a couple of the treats. .: Four Calling Birds :. Four Calling Birds = 4 Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John I planned to pick up four kinds of Chicken Wings/Appetizers for this menu item, but that was the one thing I forget to get at the store. Grilled Chicken on top of Salad, or even bird shaped sandwiches would have worked as well. Our meal was made up of mostly appetizers and desserts, but a chicken main dish could be easily incorporated here too. Instead, I just ended up pulling our our Church Windows game for the kids to play - tying in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the 4 Gospel Writers. .: Five Golden Rings :. Five Golden Rings = 5 Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy Snuggles (by far our pickiest eater) decided to try one of these "Golden Rings" (Onion Rings). After taking a couple bites he asked "What's inside this?" When nobody gave him a direct answer, just asked if he was going to eat the rest, he said, "No... It tastes odd!" lol Next time I think I might opt for dried apple rings! .: Six Geese A-Laying :. Six Geese A-Laying = 6 Days of Creation Deviled Eggs made a yummy and healthy addition to the party and tied in nicely to the six geese a-laying! .: Seven Swans A-Swimming :. Seven Swans A-Swimming = 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit Since the seven swans a-swimming represents the seven gifts of the holy spirit, I decided to serve our Pentecost seven layer dip with chips. .: Eight Maids A-Milking :. Eight Maid A-Milking = 8 Beatitudes I already had some eggnog leftover from Christmas. .: Nine Ladies Dancing :. Nine Ladies Dancing = 9 Fruits of the Spirit A simple fruit salad made from nine fresh fruits: Kiwi, Banana, Apple, Pear, Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Red Grapes, Oranges, and Pineapple. .: Ten Lords A-Leeping :. Ten Lords A-Leeping = 10 Commandments Pepperidge Milano Cookies with the Roman Numerals written with black sparkle gel. .: Eleven Pipers Piping :. Eleven Pipers Piping = 11 Faithful Apostles Pretzel Rod Pipes and A Choir of Chocolate Angels to match the beautiful illustrations in our book. .: Twelve Drummers Drumming :. Twelve Drummers Drumming = 12 Points of the Apostles Creed Originally I was going to make Chicken Drumsticks, but when I saw these Chicken Drumellas at Trader Joe's I thought they would be perfect quick and easy! .: Picture Books :. Twelve Days of Christmas Picture Books: The Twelve Days of Christmas Illustrated by Laurel Long The Twelve Days of Christmas Illustrated by Jan Brett The Twelve Days of Christmas: A Christmas Pop-Up Illustrated byJohn Patience The Twelve Days of Christmas: The Story Behind a Favorite Christmas Song (not pictured) Epiphany Picture Books Pictured: The Last Straw by Frederick H.
