Why do Americans sing about but don't celebrate the 12 days of Christmas? (lemmy.ml)

Many countries celebrate Christmas through January 6th (epiphany/Three Kings), the 12th day of Christmas, but not the US. That's fine. But why sing about it if you don't celebrate it?

Honestly, I had no idea there was a related tradition. Song's a banger though, more than happy to have it.
