"This twelfth night of the twelve days of Christmas is the official end of the winter holiday season and one of the traditional days for taking down the Christmas decorations."
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is not really about this date.
"The play is first mentioned in 1601, in a letter written by an Italian named Don Virginio Orsino, duke of Bracciano. He saw Shakespeare's people perform a play at Whitehall court on Twelfth Night, January 6. (The Duke's name really doesn't matter in the play, which wasn't published until the folio of 1623, and perhaps Shakespeare simply named the duke and the play in memory of the event.)"
How Shakespeare prepared his manuscripts ... and what happened next.
