Did you know the twelve days of Christmas are not a count down to the fat guy in red’s big day? They actually start on Christmas Day and count down to Epiphany. The confusion is no doubt thanks to the Christmas carol of the same name that ticks off twelve days of rather odd gifts. The gold, in ring form or not, I can buy into. And the leaping lords could be fun. The rest, not so much.

The carol too, in its original use, runs from Christmas forward, but then since gift giving is a pre-Christmas , or Christmas Day tradition, that really makes no sense. Unless you are one of those cheapskates who waits until after Christmas and buys all of their gifts at deeply discounted prices. And then I doubt you’d be springing for eleven pipers regardless of the pipes they are piping on.

Traditional days used or not, it’s still a great albeit flimsy excuse for twelve days of posting some pix of male flesh in as little holiday attire as possible. That’s for your little head. For your big head, along with each hottie will be an interesting, or not, possibly little known holiday fact. Yup, kinda like when you were a kid and your brother unwrapped a new bike while you got a pair of socks.

Hope you enjoy the run of eye candy . . .
