for many people, december 25 marked the end of the celebration of christmas; however, for others, the christmas season just started yesterday. on the liturgical calendar, christmas day marked the end of the season of advent, and yesterday was the first of the twelve days of the christmas season. this will be followed by the culminating event of the feast of the epiphany, which commemorates the visit of the magi to the christ child.
in recognition of the continuation of the christmas, today's songs are about ways that these twelve days could be celebrated. rather than the traditional carol, however, i'm posting two variations on that theme. here's the first that incorporates a variety of other holiday tunes and musical styles in as madcap a way as possible to get those gifts a given.
