There's so much weird shit in Christmas carols. Like, who spends 12 days celebrating Christmas, and does so by giving birds and human beings as gifts? Or, who builds a snowman, and pretends it's some religious dude making moral judgements about their relationship?
-
Actually, people really DID used to celebrate Christmas for 12 days. Remember, until recently, agrarian societies largely shut down for the winter so they had plenty of time to celebrate. Early Romans didn't even count January & February as months; they only had 10.
-
Memory is ropy but 12 days was a mnemonic for learning Catholic catechism when being persecuted by protestants. Nowt to do with dodge gifts.
-
Nope. That's total BS; 12-day celebrations of the winter solstice holiday go back to Babylonian times.http://www.cliterati.co.uk/2013/12/6000-years-of-christmas/ …
-
Not disputing 12 days as a thing. Just the carol.
-
I take it back BUT some Canadians did put forward this theory in the 1970s so I read about it somewhere along the way.
-
Please good people, stop arguing,
-
Oh, dear, I didn't really think we were arguing. Sorry if we gave that impression.

.. It's railing at the oppression of the common man, particularly at this festive time, by their Victorian overlords...
-
.. It's a protest song.

Maybe they should change it to "We want some proper tax codes, we want minimum wage, we want equal representation, and we want it right now."
-
We won't go until impeachment..
-
Carolers outside the White House: We WISH you were sane and honest! (×3) You great horse's rear! Now bring us a proper tax code! (×3) Get your asses in gear! We WON'T go until impeachment! (×3) So get out of here!
