Most people are
familiar with the Christmas song, “The 12 Days of Christmas,” even
though many folks might have a bit of trouble keeping the lines of the song
straight after about the sixth day! This song has been sung for generations,
and is a traditional part of the Christmas season. There have even been many
versions of the song that have come out, since the structure lends itself well
to variation and even humor. But did you ever stop to think what this seemingly
nonsensical song really is about? While there is some disagreement over the
actual purpose for “The 12 Days
of Christmas” among historians, the theories regarding this fun and
lively song are quite intriguing.
