Celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas – One Day at a Time
On the 5th Day of Christmas…
“But Jiminy Crickets, it is the 31st of December! Is it not too late for the 12 Days of Christmas?” you say.
Not to fear, Chanticleerians! The 12 Days of Christmas begins on December 26th! And it continues to the 6th of January – Three Kings Day. The four weeks leading up to Christmas is known as the Advent.
So if you haven’t finished wrapping presents, sending out those cards, and baking cookies—don’t worry—you’ve got an extra seven days!
Happy Holidays to You from the Chanticleer Team!
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Five Golden Rings
Four Calling Birds
Three French Hens (Chanticleer’s favorite #justsaying)
Two Turtle Doves
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree
Not one ring to bind them in this case.
Of course, there is another age-old interpretation of the Five Golden Rings is that they refer to five ring-necked birds such as Ring-necked Pheasants or the European Goldfinches in keeping with the bird theme of the song.
On the Fifth Day of Christmas, Chanticleer brings to me…
Five publishing trends for 2025!
The world of publishing is changing fast and authors need to know what’s coming next. That’s why Chanticleer is offering five 2025 trends for the Fifth Day of Christmas!
1. Digital growth: Publishers are focusing on digital growth, including developing new ways to reach audiences, advertising solutions, and digital subscriptions. Because the popularity of ebooks continues to grow, an emphasizes on aesthetics has also taken on a greater importance.
5. Genre-bending covers: Book cover designers always are on the look out to find exciting new ways to present a book. They will be experimenting with book covers that break traditional genre norms in 2025, mixing elements from different styles and graphics.
Stay tuned for the 6th Day of Christmas!
Our favorite part about having the 12 Days of Christmas is that we can have the time we need to celebrate with our loved ones. We have time for wrapping presents, meeting with friends for hot cocoa, and continuing to prepare the Chanticleer Authors Conference and the 2023 CIBA Banquet and Ceremony.
Wishing you Happy Holidays from Chanticleer from Kiffer, David, Dena, Scott, Anya, and Argus!
