Lots of smart fellow nerds out here: Does anyone know how or why the 12 days of Christmas got moved to the beginning of December in popular culture? Traditionally, it is the 12 days between Christmas and the Epiphany.

Jess7 I do not know, but I like your bitmoji. 🤗📚💕👍🏼 7y
BethM @Jess7 thanks! I changed her outfit last night 😂 7y
laurieluna I think it's just confusion. Some people believe 1st of Dec, 1st day of Christmas. I've always understood it to start on Christmas Day, Hence the bringing down of the Christmas tree traditionally being on the 5th of January. 7y

@Cinfhen is correct. I planned to host a #12DaysofChristmas challenge. But there are so many this month, I understand if I have few participants. I'm still hosting it since I spent a month coloring bookmarks.

It's short (12 days) but not really simple. You need a character to match the "theme" of each day. It's based on the song, so day one would be which character reminds you of a partridge in a pear tree. It's all in good fun.

mabell Sounds awesome! When does it start? 7y
DebinHawaii I though you were. October was bad for me so I didn't join in but I am going to try for December. 🎄📚👍 7y
