On the...4th?...day of Christmas
So it's the Christmas season, and we are all celebrating by...
Wait, what? Christmas isn't over?
Well, Christmas Day is over, yes, but we're just getting into the actual season of Christmas. I know you want to put the decorations away and take the lights down, but it's not quite time, not quite yet. You've still got 8 days to go!
Or maybe 9. I guess we're either on the 3rd or 4th day of Christmas, depending on who you ask, and whether or not you include Christmas day in the list. Let's see, a partridge in a pear tree is day #1. Some believe the song was written to help teach Christian symbolism, in which the "partridge in a pear tree" is the symbol of the gift of Jesus being born. Not sure you you get "God-man in a feeding trough" from "partridge in a pear tree" but whatever. If that's the case, then it's reasonable that the 25th is the first day, in which case we're on day 4. But maybe it's the 26th, so we're on day 3 today. Or maybe, with our recent penchant for having Christmas Eve be the huge celebration, we're actually on day 5.
Yeah, I'm confused too. But in any case, here's a video of a great song that has great fun with the 12 Days. I like the fact that they're confused too.
