It is a common practice to eat a fruit for each of the 12 days of Christmas. Or maybe it is 13. I’ve seen both numbers used in cookbooks and recipes.
In any case, it is a fun tradition that I would like to continue with my family this year.
The first fruit we will eat on Christmas Eve is an apple. It symbolizes hope, love and happiness.
The second fruit is a pear, which stands for wealth and prosperity.
The third fruit is a grapefruit, which represents health and happiness.
On the fourth day of Christmas, we will eat four figs (or dates) representing friendship and togetherness. On day five we will eat five prunes (or raisins), which stand for good luck and fortune! Day six brings six oranges which are said to bring love into your life while keeping you healthy too! Day seven brings seven strawberries which represent faithfulness; eight bananas represent abundance; nine cherries represent heavenly joy; ten apricots are said to bring peace into your life; eleven plums represent success; twelve grapes represent joys coming in twelves; thirteen peaches represent good luck in relationships (and if you don’t have
In the Christian religion, there are twelve fruits of the Holy Spirit. They represent the virtues that Christians should strive to attain. They are:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control and chastity.
The number 12 is used because it represents divine perfection. There are 12 months in a year and 12 signs of the zodiac. The number 12 also represents Jesus’ disciples and their followers.
The list of fruits in this article is based on the list of fruits in the Bible but it also includes some fruits which aren’t included in this list but look like round fruits and can be used as gifts for New Year celebration.

The 12 Fruits of The Holy Spirit are:
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control, Humility and Modesty.
The round fruits can be used as a symbol to represent these Godly attributes because they have no beginning or end and they represent perfection. They also have many seeds within which represents fertility and abundance. The round shape represents wholeness and completeness.

Fruit is a sweet, edible substance that grows on flowering plants.
Fruits are the means by which many plants reproduce sexually. The ovary, where seeds develop, is always enclosed in some type of structure that provides protection and nutrition to the developing fruit. Many fruits have a hard rind or skin, but some do not. Fruits can be eaten raw or cooked and may be canned or dried for future use.
List of Big Round Fruits:
Acerola Cherry (Malpighia emarginata) – This is a tropical American fruit that has been cultivated since the 1700s as an ornament in gardens across Europe and North America. It is also known as Barbados cherry or West Indian cherry. The fruit has a high antioxidant content and is used in making jams and jellies.
Avocado (Persea americana) – Avocados are native to South Central Mexico where they were cultivated by Olmec peoples as early as 3,000 BC. They are one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world today and perhaps one of the most versatile! Avocados come in many different varieties with different colors ranging from light green to dark purple-black with creamy white flesh inside each individual pit (seed).
Breadfruit
Round fruits are also called as berries. They are a kind of fruit that is round in shape and has a seed in the centre. The berries have a fleshy outer layer and small seeds inside them.
The most common ones are strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and cranberries. One may find them growing in their natural form or as part of breakfast cereals or juices.
There are many different varieties of round fruits like apples, peaches, plums and oranges among others. Some of these fruits grow on trees while others grow on vines or bushes. Some grow underground while others grow above ground level.
Round fruits are good sources of vitamins A and C which help to strengthen our immune system and prevent us from getting ill easily.
Some people eat round fruits because they taste good but there are other benefits too such as preventing heart problems like high blood pressure, lowering cholesterol levels as well as reducing chances of having a stroke or getting cancer cells developing in the body due to their antioxidant properties which helps fight free radical damage caused by chemicals in our environment that can cause harm to our bodies over time if left untreated and unchecked.
Round fruits are the most common type of fruit. They are generally round, with an outer skin and pulp around a central seed. Some examples of round fruits are apples, oranges, pears, grapes, cherries and watermelons.
Round fruits have many different varieties. For example, there are approximately 7,500 unique apple varieties in the world. Each variety of apple has its own characteristics like taste and size. It’s also important to note that while some apples are round-shaped like small oranges or large grapefruits, others may be oblong in shape.
There’s an interesting story behind the word “apple” itself. It comes from Old English words meaning “to desire” or “desire fruit.” This makes sense because apples were thought to be a symbol of fertility throughout history because they were so abundant during springtime when people were starting to have children!
Fruit is a sweet, fleshy food that grows on a plant. Fruit can also be called a vegetable, but in some countries, like the United States, fruit is considered separately from vegetables.
In most parts of the world, fruits are eaten raw or cooked. Fruits are usually picked when ripe, but some have to be picked unripe and ripened after harvesting. Fruits can also be dried or canned for long-term storage.
The following are listed below:
Avocados are large, pear-shaped fruits with a thick, dark green skin and creamy or velvet interior that surrounds a large seed. The avocado tree is native to Mexico and Central America, but it has been cultivated in tropical areas all over the world since pre-Columbian times (before Columbus). Avocados are rich in healthy fats and make an excellent snack or salad ingredient because they don’t spoil quickly at room temperature like many other fruits do. They’re also very versatile: You can use them in smoothies, salads or even desserts!
