That is not quite as time-consuming as the 12 days. They invite different friends for dinner, each Sunday, and have little gifts to give to their guests. I found it a wonderful way to celebrate.

Blessings on you and your family. dynnamaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344370171720249501noreply@blogger.com
