"Hey get back to work!"

We have 120 days of Christmas, and it starts in ~~September~~ August.

The song is about someone doing the things, and is catchy. Don't see it as a plan for activities over a period of time.

Christmas has been drilled in as a single day where we support commerce by buying stuff we don't need and giving it all on one morning. We don't really have week long holidays because that would cut into business, and business is all we are good at!

Seriously though, not having any expected time off beyond a single day per holiday really kills the incentive to celebrate holidays that last more than a single day.

It's bad enough I have to listen to christmas music in August, if it lasted until jan 6th I will become a domestic terrorist.

Thought it was just a song...

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.

We do celebrate it. Or at least, everyone I know does. But the way we celebrate is simply having an Advent calendar, so you get a little chocolate treat every day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas.

Honestly, I had no idea there was a related tradition. Song's a banger though, more than happy to have it.

I've never even heard of any 12 days thing. in my country it's mainly just the 24th.

many folks keep the decorations up to three kings and then some do the advent calendar thing.

This song has a lot of problems in general.
