Very stupid question......

[Overtiredmum]

but I know someone will know the answer on here: what date does the twevle days of Christmas start?????? I am trying to win a bet with DH

I think it's Christmas Day.

Hope you win your bet.

Christmas Day and ends on the 6th January!

The "12 days" originated when days began at sunset. They went from sunset on Dec 25th to sunset on Jan. 6th. Because days now start at midnight, in some places the 12 days start on Dec. 25th, in others on Dec. 26th.

Hope you win the bet!!!

Yup - Christmas day .

actually it's Boxing Day - and Wiki agrees with me...

So it officially ends of 5 January? Thats cool, I thought it was Christmas Eve but he thought it was 12 December so I think I win

Christmas day until the eve of epiphany (5th)

I knew I could get the answer from MN - I owe you all a very large drink!!

How much did you bet him then?

Ummmm, the bet was actual sex-related so I am hoping for a VERY good chrimbo!!!!

OTM it ends on 6th Jan not the 5th.
The 6th is the Epiphany (or Little Christmas) when the 3 wise men arrived at Bethlehem.

Tell us what the bet was?

Yes I'm intrigued what was the bet?????

Put it this way, I can definitely lie back and enjoy!

Ha ha ha good for you!!!

I think you should bet him that you are better than him at many more trivia questions... and then come on here and get the answers... you will have a STONKING Christmas!!

Fabulous idea MAW, I'll think up some more questions and do "double or nothing"!!!!
