1. Pitt Island's Kahuitara Point is the first populated location on earth to observe a sunrise in each new year, based on local time zone. -Wikipedia

4. The carol springs to mind, but is Christmas eve the first day? If so, is it partridge or Jesus? The meaning of the gifts follows:


To cloak the meaning of what was being learned, the children were told that the true love in the song was god. So:

"On the first day of Christmas my true love (God) gave to me a partridge (Jesus) in a pear tree.

"On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me two turtle doves (The Old and New Testaments)

"On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me french hens (Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues)

"On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me four calling birds (the four Gospels)

"On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me five golden rings (The first five books of the Old Testament)

"On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me six geese a-laying (the six days of creation)

"On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me seven swans a-swimming (the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit)

"On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me eight maids a-milking (the eight beatitudes)

"On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me nine ladies dancing (the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit)

"On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ten lords a-leaping (the ten commandments)

"On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me eleven pipers piping (the eleven faithful apostles)

"On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me twelve drummers drumming (the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's)"

2. First name is apparently something to do with Christmas
