I never really understood the song "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" because there is only one day of Christmas, and before Christmas it is 25, if you want to start at December 1. But of course

arrow One day of Christmas is way too short, therefore that would be a pretty short and boring song
arrow 25 days of Christmas is way too long, plus the Family Channel has Rights to that ((their 25 days of Christmas specials, often repeated))

So why make a song about 11 more days of Christmas that doesn't exist? Better yet, a song that barely has anything to do with Christmas. Okay, the five golden rings WOULD be nice sweatdrop but who wants a partridge in a pear tree? Or turtle doves? I mean, for the longest time, I thought a turtle dove was a mixed breed between a turtle and a dove! ((I was only four mind you, but still)) And who wants ten leaping lords? I don't know, the song doesn't make sense to me. And two things ALWAYS happen when you hear that song

arrow After you've heard it, you're singing it for the rest of the week
arrow After you've hummed/sung it for a week, two weeks later you start to sing it again, but you can't remember the words so you go around asking people "is it twelve drummers drumming or pipers piping?!" which bugs you for another week.
