Holiday Traditions

Okay I'm aware that this might be a bit last minuet, but I thought that I'd pose the question of where do our holiday season tradions come from? What is the meaning behind some of the holiday tunes that we seem to sing almost on auto-plot?

12 Days of Christmas what gives?
When did we start roastig chestnuts?
What is Kwanza celebrate?
When did we start sending Christmas cards?
Why is it the Yuletide season if we don't celebrate Yule?
Why do we stay up all night on New Years Eve to see the new year in?

I'm going to try and discovr the mysteries behind some of these.

So ae there any you're curious about?
