1669 12 Days of Holly

Not long ago I was reflecting on the holiday season. That season everyone is always talking about when they say, "Season's Greetings" and "Happy Holidays." The one that includes a not-being-made-war-on Christmas, but also includes Thanksgiving, New Years, Chanukah, and others.
I was thinking the 12 days of Christmas are a nice long period for a holiday. By the way, I know one of those days includes Boxing Day, which used to be when the servants got their gifts from their employers, then evolved into bring-back-your-boxes-full-of-rejections-for-return-day.
But I was wondering, does one of those days include "Gift Card Redemption Day?" Does Amazon dot com do huge business the day after Christmas too? Heck. They probably explode their cloud the day of Christmas.
Anyhow, back to the 12 days thing. Why not extend that privilege to other holidays? Like our recent snow and ice and power outage storm here in the Pacific Northwest. With all the school closures and people not being able to get to work, we were sort of having a 12 Days of Martin Luther King Day.
I'm thinking the romantic among us would go for a 12 days of Valentines Day too. You already have the dozen roses theme worked in. 12 days, 12 roses. 12 boxes of candy to counteract all those 12 days of New Years resolutions.
Don't worry about the 4th of July. We already get fireworks from June 22nd on.
But how about the 12 days of Easter? Perfectly possible, again with a dozen eggs to boil and decorate, an easy theme to explore. And you already have Ash Wednesday, Shrove Thursday, Good Friday and the big day itself. So only 8 more days to mark out before the ascension.
Cool. A 2-week spring break. Just the thing to lift our spirits.
America, ya gotta love it.
