Many countries celebrate Christmas through January 6th (epiphany/Three Kings), the 12th day of Christmas, but not the US. That’s fine. But why sing about it if you don’t celebrate it?

The song is about someone doing the things, and is catchy. Don’t see it as a plan for activities over a period of time.
Christmas has been drilled in as a single day where we support commerce by buying stuff we don’t need and giving it all on one morning. We don’t really have week long holidays because that would cut into business, and business is all we are good at!
Seriously though, not having any expected time off beyond a single day per holiday really kills the incentive to celebrate holidays that last more than a single day.
