Bobody, once again you arrive with a terrible take. Not only is there a 61st day of Christmas, there is also a 64th day of Christmas (when you wrote the above comment) and an 84th day of Christmas (when I am writing this comment). Christmas doesn't have to end. There are no rules that state Christmas has to end. Christmas can continue as long as anyone believes in Christmas and upholds the Christmas spirit, which I intend to do--and have done.
"The Christmas season, also called the festive season, or the holiday season (mainly in the U.S. and Canada; often simply called the holidays), is an annually recurring period recognized in many Western and Western-influenced countries that is generally considered to run from late November to early January. It is defined as incorporating at least Christmas, and usually New Year, and sometimes various other holidays and festivals." - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_and_holiday_season)
I highlight two points (emphasis my own): "GENERALLY considered to run" from x to y and "SOMETIMES VARIOUS OTHER holidays and festivals." That is to say, it could just as feasibly run longer, and if there is a desire to include St. Patrick's Day--and more--in the Christmas season, as I have, that is just as well.
I will cede one point: There hasn't been a 61st day of Christmas previously, but that is only because no one has thought to do it before. I, being a Renaissance Man, have created a new movement. There WAS no 61st day of Christmas. Now, there IS, and an 85th as well.
There is no 61st day of Christmas, FYI. The Christmas season is over.
