The 12 days of Christmas originally had to do with the Christmas season relating to the religious calendar/cycle. Advent is the period of time BEFORE Christmas. 4 Sundays before to be exact. This past Sunday was the first week of Advent.

AFTER Christmas day, you have the 12 days leading up to the Epiphany (Three Kings Day, Dia De Los Tres Reyes Magos... etc) which in the church calendar is all Christmas season. You get to celebrate another holy day (Solemnity of Mary) in the middle of that. Once Epiphany hits, you're back into ordinary time. Every bit of that is the CHRISTMAS season. So it goes on beyond December 25th.

Dumbasses across the US started doing the 12 days prior because they didn't give a shit to the real history of it and like to fuck up real holiday traditions that actually mean something

:jvag:
It's all made up bull shit so why does it matter how people do it?
