The early date was selected because of the holiday.  Evidently Intuit was going for the Twelve Days of Christmas, but programming ended up messing up and came up a little short of 12 days.

Never being one to miss out on an excuse to play high quality music here, I'm not going to pass on  this chance eh.  But I do have to run, my ACME bandages seem to make my head bleed worse than before I put them on.  Good day, eh!
