Download or read book The 12 Days of Christmas written by Harry Rand and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-09-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the whole body of Christmas carols sung in English, among the most famous and beloved is a song universally called "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Although its association with the holiday remains unquestioned, the tune was originally a raucous drinking song with wildly different connotations. This book documents the unfamiliar and distant history of one of the world's most well-known holiday songs, inextricably linked to the earliest celebrations of a festival suppressed by the Church itself. The rowdy and mischievous tone of traditional Christmas has vanished, as have the songs that accompanied the festival of drinking, gambling, fighting, feasting and sex. Modern participants of Christmas may be either embarrassed or pleased to discover the scandalous roots of a beloved holiday classic.

All the same, are you aware of the meaning of the song '12 Days of Christmas' and the hidden message theory behind the lyrics? This custom is mentioned in a few media prints each year as well as in numerous emails sent by believers to believers. Even though a lot in the song doesn't make much sense in the modern world, which includes 364 gifts, puts the lyrics that seem odd in context. Do you know what the Twelve Days of Christmas mean? No? Well, here's the interpretation and clarification. But first, let's take a look at the event that, according to the Christian calendar, signals or usher the beginning of the twelve days of Christmas.
