PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The first day of Christmas is, in fact, December 25. Christmas Day is not the twelfth day of Christmas, but January 6, Epiphany, is.

That is all.

Yes, yes there are. And a depressing number of them work in marketing, and perpetuate the "twelve days of Christmas end on Dec 25" myth all over the place. Take a poll of some number of random people on the street or wherever - chances are, most will get it wrong.
