Epiphany
On the twelfth day
there were three kings
which in some way
led to five rings
(or for the kooks
led to five toques
Bob and Doug’s brand)

Epiphany is the day the three wise men or kings arrived at the stable where the baby had been born. It is said to have occurred twelve days after the birth, thus giving us the Twelve Days of Christmas, and is traditionally celebrated on 6 January. When my mother was a child where she grew up it was also the day Christmas gifts were exchanged.

Happy New Year
When one year ends
and one begins
we think of friends
and kith and kin
Wait. What’s a “kith?“
And why paired with
“kin” when written?

Happy New Year! I hope this year is a better year than all those that have gone before.
