Theres a lot of things which used to be part of american culture but have fallen out of fashion for one reason or another. For example, a lot of american christmas songs reference roasting chestnuts, which most americans have probably never seen in their lives because an infection brought over from japan on imported plants wiped out almost all of the chestnut trees, the dominant tree in the eastern US. Id say with the 12 days of Christmas its because of capitalism and endless work leading up to christmas and right back to work afterwards.
