[Dixielandjazz] Christmas gig

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

I'm still struck with Jim's original post and musing about traditions that  
celebrate Twelve Days of Christmas beginning with Dec. 25.  Here in  
central midwest USA I've only ever met one family that did that.   Instead there 
are lots of things going on during the month between  Thanksgiving and 
Christmas, an Advent tradition depending.  But sort  of "It's all over" come Dec. 
26 except for New Year's Eve.  So to try to be  somewhat on topic -- how 
prevalent is it in Europe, Australia,  elsewhere, to celebrate 12 days of 
Christmas, maybe even hiring a Dixieland  band to aid in the Celebration?
