I was informed that contrary to much popular belief, these are not the twelve days before Christmas, but twelve days from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany (January 5th). The origin and counting of the Twelve Days gets more complicated as it relates to differences in calendars, church traditions, and ways to observe the holy days in various cultures. Well it’s too bad I had to find out after getting half way through the jingle.
Well- stay tuned and be sure the check back on January 1st to see what Santa brings on “The Seventh Day of Christmas”.
