On the ninth day of Christmas… this is when we start to become countercultural, for many people are taking down (or have taken down) their Christmas trees and are embracing new sugar-free regimes of fitness and abstaining from alcohol. But people, we’re still in the season of Christmas! Jesus has come into our lives! Celebrate and rejoice! (Artwork by Leo Boucher)

The Seventh Day of Christmas
It’s the seventh day of Christmas, and the skies in Londontown are grey but not as foggy as yesterday. Thinking of the light of Christ who has come into the world, whatever the weather. Artwork by Leo Boucher. -
The Sixth Day of Christmas
Happy sixth day of Christmas! “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed” (Matthew 2:10). Does the sky seem foggy and dark, with no stars out to behold? Praying that the light will shine through the cracks; that the veil will be lifted; that our eyes can see the glory. (Artwork by Leo Boucher.) -
The Fifth Day of Christmas
Happy fifth day of Christmas! We woke up to a thick frost and sunshine, which is lovely. Thinking about the Son as the Sun and the light he brings. What light do you see today? (Artwork by Leo Boucher.) -
Celebrating the Days of Christmas
Happy Christmas!In our culture it’s easy to think that Christmas is now over, but actually it’s just begun. We like to enjoy these days of Christmas relaxing by the tree, watching cheesy movies, and eating yummy leftovers. During Advent we eat in the kitchen, lights darkened and candles strewn around the table, waiting for the coming Christ. We move to the dining room in the Christmas season, the shining tree behind us and a lovely embroidered tablecloth (by my mom) gracing the table.
During the 12 days of Christmas on social media I’ve been posting artwork each day of Christmas by my dad, Leo Boucher, and I realized I should share it here too. Here are the first four days.
Happy Christmas!
A painting my dad created for the classes he teaches to older adults. Perfect for the second day of Christmas. 
A winter river scene that reminds me of my youth. 
The fourth day of Christmas is perfect for relaxing by the Christmas tree, spending time with family.
