My wife was reading a women's magazine article about forming "holiday traditions" in families. One of the people quoted went on at great length about how they celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas starting on December 12th, with gifts and the whole works.
This was reported without a hint of irony. I had to see it to believe it.
Wrong timeline for the 12 days of Christmas in that article.
The twelve days of Christmas are from December 25 through January 8, the Epiphany -- arrival of the Three Kings to worship the child King.
