Twelve days before Christmas, the angel Gabriel is sent to a family, the Hopewells, who live at 1222 Baker Street. And after he touches the lights of their Christmas tree, this family of six""Paul, Julia, Alexander, Brandon, Catherine, and little Dasha""experience a season that none of them could have ever imagined. In the following eleven days prior to Christmas, they and their friends""Carter and Carrie Covington, Samantha and Vic Welhausen, David Livingston, Aubrey Murphy, and Jack Winter""are amazed and entertained as the ornaments on the Hopewell tree become animated. What first begins as entertainment eventually educates them to the fact they have been called to a heavenly mission: a mission in which Lucifer will try his very best to thwart. Come along with the Hopewell family and their friends as they learn what it means to encounter the forces of hell and watch how the heaven's army protects this tiny group. Though Satan tries his best to keep this group cloaked in darkness, the light of understanding slowly ascends on Paul, his family, and his friends. All the darkness they experience (being trapped in a burning house, buried in the snow along a lonely highway, immersed in a volcanic cloud of ash and more) will only serve as background to the light that is slowly dawning. Light will win out. While 12 Days of Christmas: Light Ascending is fiction, it forces you to think about the reality that you live in today.

In the whole body of Christmas carols sung in English, among the most famous and beloved is a song universally called "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Although its association with the holiday remains unquestioned, the tune was originally a raucous drinking song with wildly different connotations. This book documents the unfamiliar and distant history of one of the world's most well-known holiday songs, inextricably linked to the earliest celebrations of a festival suppressed by the Church itself. The rowdy and mischievous tone of traditional Christmas has vanished, as have the songs that accompanied the festival of drinking, gambling, fighting, feasting and sex. Modern participants of Christmas may be either embarrassed or pleased to discover the scandalous roots of a beloved holiday classic.
