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?

We do celebrate it. Or at least, everyone I know does. But the way we celebrate is simply having an Advent calendar, so you get a little chocolate treat every day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas.
