Play every day at 4pm and try to win.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: When does the 12 Days of Christmas actually start?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: When does the 12 Days of Christmas actually start?

I wonder this every time I hear the song. When are we supposed to start the “12 days” in the “The 12 Days of Christmas”?

I always thought it was before or sometime in early December. Nope. It is actually about the 12 days AFTER Christmas, not before.  The last day always ends on January 6th, which is a holiday called the Feast of the Epiphany.

Crazy!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: A festive world record has been set, making all other Christmas trees seem underwhelming

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: A festive world record has been set, making all other Christmas trees seem underwhelming

Talk about a crazy world record. This woman in the U.K. just set a new one for the largest collection of Christmas ornaments.  She started collecting them in 1999, and now has 1,760 different ornaments in her house! That seems somewhat recent for collecting ornaments right? I still have some from like 1987.

She hopes to break 2,000 ornament mark in the next year or two.

Here’s the video if you want to see what that many ornaments actually looks like:

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Amazon driver goes above and beyond for customer’s porch

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Amazon driver goes above and beyond for customer’s porch

Tis the season for porch pirates and Amazon backorders. We hear all the horror stories about getting our holiday package delivered, but what about the good stories!? Like this one

An Amazon driver in Oregon is going viral because of what he did for this one customer after dropping their package on the porch. Right when he made the delivery he noticed a big windstorm knocked down all their Christmas decorations. He decided to take the time to set them all back up for her. 

Her security camera got it all on video too! What a great holiday helper.
