Jesus Christ, not Christmas again.

Christmas Math

Jesus Christ, not Christmas again.

So there’s an Advent Calender which is 24 days before Christmas (sort of? it can start in November).

Then there are the “12 Days of Christmas” which we all know and love.

Don’t forget the Feast of Stephan (thank you, “Good King Wenceslas”) whenever that may be.

“We Three Kings” is also a favorite of many.

So here’s my question.  What does all the math and extra dates have to do with Christmas?  Well.  No, I’m not asking that. I actually don’t care very much at all.  I get Christmas, as a commercial holiday, and since I don’t celebrate it, I’m down with that.  It’s just very confusing when you look at it from the outside and there are all these extra days.

Meanwhile, Hanukkah is up on the 20th.  I like ThinkGeek.  I also like Hoodies (in large).
