What is the best gift you've received? Here on the Ninth Day of Christmas, we can reflect on, obviously, the number nine.
It is an amplification of the sacred number of three--in some circumstances the thrice cry of believers of "Kyrie Eleison" is heard three times. There are supposedly nine angelic choirs scattered about the supposed nine cosmic spheres.
We do know, as St. Paul attests, nine fruit(s?) of the Holy Spirit are available for those who seek. This fruit might be why there are nine ladies dancing.
Of these nine fruit/gifts which have you received? Of these nine fruit/gifts, which is the best?
January 3rd is also the feast day for Malachi, St. Genevieve of Paris, and Peter of Atroa.

They dance the dance of loveThey dance the dance of joy
They dance the dance of peace
They frolic for longsuffering
They waltz with kindness
They caper for goodness
They cavort with faithfulness
They gambol for gentleness
They flit with self-control (if that's not oxymoronic)
