Twelve nights of Christmas. Would also work better for me, calendar-wise :)
- ThunderSizzle 1y agoThat would "require" a timeline shift for it to start on Christmas run until the Ephinany. Although I don't think anyone really knows what the 12 days of Christmas are anymore.
- TeMPOraL 1y agoWe have a thing called "Three Kings" (aka. "three wise men") in Poland, that falls on Jan 6th. If My Math Is Correct™, there's 12 days between the Christmas day (Dec 25th) and Jan 6th, so maybe the song is about this period?
- dinkelberg 1y agoEpiphany (GP had a typo) and Three Kings is the same occasion, in fact. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)
- akho 1y agoYes, and I would be glad to see such a shift. Shakespeare is still being read, I think.
- pfortuny 1y agoThis referes to the feast of the Epiphany, though, which is 12 nights after Christmas...
- akho 1y agoThat's why I say it would've worked better for me, yes.
