Ephiphany

Epiphany - traditionally the 12th day after Christmas, and the day the astrologers brought gifts to the Christian Jesus.
But, there are lots of other neat things about Epiphany. There is a yummy cake, quite similar to the kings cake people in New Orleans bake, but without all the purple and green icing.
And there is La Befana...the good witch, who brings presents to good children (and dogs) in Italian villages.

And there are songs and carols, like this one:



"On January 6th, a long time ago

The old folks danced the doe-si-doe

Christmas time has come and gone

Breaking up Christmas, right or wrong"

At our house, it means muzzer should get busy and put away the

Christmas decorations. And the Christmas China goes into the dishwasher

before it gets packed away for another 11 months!

But it also means "An illuminating realization or discovery,

often resulting in a personal feeling of

elation, awe or wonder."

So, when muzzer left us this morning to go read on the

radio, me and Teka talked this over.

We got Chewnola bars from La Befana, and while we

were munching on them and thinking how grateful

we are for special treats..we realized that we are

also blessed with hoomans who love us, and

with our many blogging pals.

So, we are in awe of all of you,

and you fill our hearts with happiness.

Muzzer takes care of filling our tummies

with treats and kibble.

Kisses
