On a point of order Thursday wasn't the first day of Christmas, it was the first day of advent.

Advent calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First day of Christmas is 25th Dec.

Six Sigma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a management methodology. They grade it as a judo belt for the same reason that IT project managers have 'war rooms' and 'plans of attack'; fat middle aged office workers whose willies have stopped working want to sound macho, as if they were doing something exciting with their lives.
