EX Marks the Spot . . .Musings from a Has-Been: PH: TWELVE Yep, Twelve!

PH: TWELVE Yep, Twelve!

This week's PhotoHunt theme is "twelve." Perhaps that's because of the twelve days of Christmas, but that's not what I went with this week. (The 12th day of Christmas is actually January 6 or Epiphany or Three Kings' Day.)

Instead I took a photo of 12 of my favorite Christmas stockings.

Here are a few close-ups.

Narrowing it down to twelve wasn't easy, so I'm sharing a few of the others as well.

Just as a bonus, here's a bit of trivia: If you got all of the gifts mentioned in "The Twelve Days of Christmas," how many gifts would you have?

Answer: 364

After posting this, I learned that the reason twelve was chosen as the theme was because the person who started Photo Hunt has a son who was celebrating his 12th birthday!

Since you do "Photo Hunts," would you please suggest a theme for next month.
