According to my research, Saturnalia didn't extend to January 5 though.

I said it was based on Christmas, since it's supposed to be when the three kings or whatever made it to Bethlehem.

It's the number of days after the birth of Christ when the magi from the east showed up with their gifts.

So is it not actually a converted pagan holiday or former part of Saturnalia?

I don't think so, but I'm not an expert on such things. It's just counting 13 days from Christmas.

Technically it is since it's just an add-on to Christmas.

I can't recommend them highly enough tbh they are built like tanks as well, no chance of them breaking. Sound is balanced but warm. They are sexy. Very comfortable too.

I'm pretty impressed by Audio Technica's stuff generally - I got an AT turntable last year and I've used a few of their mics.

Upgrading speakers and headphones is probably the easiest way to improve your quality of life. Much more important than unnecessary extras like food, clothes and shelter.

I always thought Three Kings day was related to the 12 days of Christmas but it actually takes place on what would be the 13th day of Christmas. I am taking down my tree later on today.

They are related, but 12 days is based off of the birthday story.
