Thanks for dropping by! The Christmas card that sent you here is inspired by a video we made in December 2015 about the etymologies behind the items in the carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas". You can see the video below (left), as well as hear our rendition of an etymological version of the song (right). Further below are links to the show notes for the videos, and more information, as well as a blog post with even more trivia about the song and its etymologies. Happy holidays!
