Why do Americans sing about but don't celebrate the 12 days of Christmas? (lemmy.ml)

Many countries celebrate Christmas through January 6th (epiphany/Three Kings), the 12th day of Christmas, but not the US. That's fine. But why sing about it if you don't celebrate it?

Many of us don't experience white Christmases, tell scary ghost stories at Christmas, put presents "on" the tree, roast chestnuts, have any sort of fire, "rock" around the tree, dash through snow, or commonly hear silver bells in town.
