Christmas Flower Trends 2012: A Contemporary Christmas inspired by Classic Christmas Lyrics
An exceptional moment frozen in time…
If you look at a digital clock
today, December 12th,
at exactly 12 minutes,
12 seconds
after 12 o clock
It will read: 12:12:12, 12/12/12
A rare moment, indeed! This will not happen again before 2112.
Title from: "Jingle Bell Rock " is a classic Christmas song written in 1957 by Bobby Helms
