On the Eighth Day of Christmas: Maids a-Milking

The Eight Maids and the Teachings of the Beatitudes

by Eugene Elf

On the eighth day of Christmas, the North Pole was covered in a soft blanket of snow, and the elves were gathering to celebrate. Santa clapped his hands together and smiled as he announced, “On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, eight maids a-milking!”

Eight maids dressed in cozy winter clothing entered, each holding a shiny bucket filled with the freshest snow milk from the reindeer. They gently milked the reindeer, who were happily munching on hay by the barn. The milk was warm, and the smell of fresh cocoa wafted through the crisp winter air.

“These maids represent the Eight Beatitudes,” Santa explained. “The Beatitudes are teachings from Jesus that remind us how to live a life full of love, kindness, and humility.”

He recited the Beatitudes, and the elves listened intently:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

The elves learned that, like the maids milking, the Beatitudes remind us to be humble, kind, and loving. They promised to live by these principles each and every day, bringing peace and happiness to the world around them.
