Interesting date;
On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th from my The First Book Of Moses poetry page

On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th

Once Upon a Time and not too long ago
The Twelfth Night Of Christmas
was celebrated with a ball
From the Day of Babes Birth
and the 11 thereafter
kith and kin were paid a visit
and friends from far and near
once were paid a call
So on this day I pray in the spirit that this date recalls
Let the gift of homage of kings gain
in the spirit of the days this season yet remain
ere it wane
Be thine Blessings Great
and misfortunes thee none befall

This poem is an abbreviated version from my websites poetry page which shows how the Christmas season was observed by Catholics in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood during depression times and WWII.The page also lists the differences from traditional Roman Catholic Christmas observance and the present after Vatican 2.Which eliminated a period of mortification during the advent period of fast and abstinence or reducing emphasis on observing feast days such as Immaculate Conception December 8th and the 12th day of Christmas known as the Epiphany January 6th.Resulting in listing Epiphany no longer on most calendars because of the decision to observe Epiphany to a Sunday following Christmas the 25th and New Years which was then known as the feast of Circumcision later named The Presentation when Jesus was presented in the Temple .

Ummm.... doesn’t the Dem controlled House have to vote to uphold a challenge in order to toss electors? I fail to understand how challenging electoral votes on the 6th will be anything more than symbolic.

It is quite proper to contest the fraudulent electoral votes, but Trump doesn’t have the votes in either the House or the Senate to prevail. I have left the Republican Party, and barring a miracle on January 6th, I will not vote for a Republican again. We need a new party that is dedicated to the interests of the American people.

There will be challenges on January 6th. That is a given. But unfortunately the votes aren’t there for any of the challenges to be successful in either the House or the Senate.
