Dear Fandom in General:
It is still Advent. It is still Advent. It is still Advent.
Yes, I realize there are twelve days to Christmas. (And no, FList, I have not gotten your presents yet.) However, these are not the twelve days of Christmas. The Twelve Days of Christmas are the days from Christmas Day (December 25th) to the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6th), inclusive.
I realize that doing Christmas-themed projects for twelve days may be easier before Christmas. It's not, however, accurate to refer to them as the Twelve Days. Just so you know.
No love,
Sofia
Post script: This is one of my little pet peeves. It really pisses the fuck out of me when people I've regarded as much more intelligent than I am make this mistake. I mean, look it the fuck up, right?
Post-post script: I realize that my Catholic school education has made me biased. I realize this same education has caused me to learn things about the Christmas tradition that others may not have learned, or did not care to learn. Again, this is just a pet peeve.
Post-post-post script: For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, sorry about the rant. Catholic education, yadda yadda.
ETA: For your Twelve Days of Christmas fix, there's the PNC Christmas Price Index, so you know how much coin you'd need to drop to buy all of the things in the song.
