It's my birthday, so humor me with this idea I had, and help me write an STX version of twelve days of Christmas. Can be as funny, wry or serious as you want! 🙂
I'll start...
On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me...
A dancing Mocko Jumbie.

It's the STX days of Xmas so it would be 7 guilty senators!

Does anyone know WHY there are 12 days of Christmas?

Does anyone know WHY there are 12 days of Christmas?
It's an old religious tradition of 12 days of feasting and celebration and gift giving, beginning with the feast on December 25th to celebrate the birth of Jesus and ending with the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th to celebrate the baptism of Jesus. January 6th is the celebration for 3 Kings Day during St. Croix's Christmas Carnival season and marks the end of the Xmas holidays.
January 5th is "Twelfth Night" and arguably there are 13 days of Xmas and 12 nights, if you count up Dec 25-Jan 6 inclusive. I've never read anything that specifically ties the number of days being 12 to the number of disciples being 12, but there's certainly the possibility that the tradition grew out of the number 12 somehow having meaning in early Christianity. Maybe the 13th partial day is a parallel to Judas. Religious scholars have probably debated and written papers on this in theology school.

It always takes longer to get things done here, so 12 days of Christmas will probably turn into 15.
