THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS? with Henry Kaiser & Sandor Nagyszalanczy

Henry and Sandor explore several divergent interpretations of the perennial Christmas Carol. They also discuss Harry Rand’s 2023 book on the meanings and histories of the lyrics. The 12 Days of Christmas: The Outlaw Carol That Wouldn't Die by Harry Rand https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/147... In the whole body of Christmas carols sung in English, among the most famous and beloved is a song universally called "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Although its association with the holiday remains unquestioned, the tune was originally a raucous drinking song with wildly different connotations. This book documents the unfamiliar and distant history of one of the world's most well-known holiday songs, inextricably linked to the earliest celebrations of a festival suppressed by the Church itself. The rowdy and mischievous tone of traditional Christmas has vanished, as have the songs that accompanied the festival of drinking, gambling, fighting, feasting and sex. Modern participants of Christmas may be either embarrassed or pleased to discover the scandalous roots of a beloved holiday classic.
