The 12 Days of Christmas start today. With that in mind, here are 12 things that BYU Athletics gave to us in 2019.
Here’s a little known fact for you: the 12 Days of Christmas don’t end on Christmas day. That’s when they start.
That’s right, for centuries Europeans have celebrated the 12 Days of Christmas, and those days run from December 25th to January 5th. That final day is known as Twelfth Night.
So the tradition reaches back a whole lot longer than the classic song that everyone knows.
But of course we have to repurpose that song for our own use. So without further ado, here’s the 12 Days of Cougar Christmas:
