The 12 Days Before Xmas: 

8 Days of Christmas

The 8th Day Before Xmas

 

I think we all know exactly what feels so lovely!

Destiny's Child knew precisely what they wanted when it came to the holiday season. So, why not write a funky Christmas tune to spell it all out - explicitly. (The only thing lacking are diagrams and diaphragms.) 

Released in November of 2000 as a promotional single, 8 Days of Christmas was written (with Errol McCalla, Jr.) and performed by Destiny's Child. It served as the title track for their 2001 Christmas offering.  

Based on the traditional carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, the eight days  in the title is a actually a reference to Hanukkah, though the holiday goes unmentioned. At the song's video premiere, Knowles said, "Actually we wrote the song two years ago, when we went in the studio to do some Christmas something. That's what started the idea of doing a Christmas album."

The song would chart, hitting #57 on Billboard's US R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Yes. What would the holidays be without getting a little something-something?

Now get your big monster hoof over here, fool, so I can give you that damn foot rub!

Ah, the countdown to the big day continues...

Oh, the anticipation!
