12, the magic number
Why 12 Deals? Because 12 seems to be a magical number used by many cultures. This is that time of the year when, in certain cultures, people share gifts and celebrate the 12th month for its significance. In certain cultures, the number 12 is considered to be the representation of perfection and completion. The Bible has the number 12 prominently featured, from the 12 apostles following Jesus, to the 12 tribes of Israel formed by the 12 sons of Jacob.
Twelve are the months of the year, and when the year ends, some cultures, from Europe to South America, eat 12 grapes or raisins, one by one, at midnight (12!), at each stroke of the clock. It is believed that this brings luck for the next… 12 months! In Philippines, for example, 12 round fruits have to be part of the New Year’s dinner, also to bring luck for the new year. In Estonia people believe New Year’s Eve is the a day when you should eat, seven, nine or 12 times, considered lucky numbers.
More Deals of Christmas coming
From references in religion to mathematics, astrology and science or fiction, the number 12 seems to be constantly present. Remember, even Hercules spent 12 years to finish his 12 Labours. Odin had 12 sons. Most calendar systems – solar or lunar – have twelve months in a year. The number of jurors in many trial cases is… 12! There are twelve hours in a half day, and there is also the option to use 12AM and 12 PM instead of a cycle of 24… which is double 12!
