The lyrics from the traditional Christmas carol "I Saw
Three Ships (Come Sailing In)" answer your question:
"I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day,
I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas Day in the morning."
So, according to the carol, three ships came sailing in on Christmas Day in the morning!
From overseas, they came by sailing ships. They then went on, like the locals, by animal transport or walking.
Song is actually I saw three ships come sailing in. Sounds more like Columbus Day, Doesn"t It? Better check that chronometer, Chris. ( Columbus, not Kringle) It is odd as the only Maritime-oriented Christmas song with the exception of It Came upon the Midnight clear which has some nautical imagery.
3 ships sailed. I believe they represent the 3 kings who saw the star and set off to find the New King. They arrived in Bethlehem 12 days later which is January 6th and known in some cultures as Epiphany
The Pilgrims and 9 or 10 years later, the Puritans, came to what would later be America in small sailing ships.
He didn't miss christmas day! The 3 spirits came the night of christmas eve and he woke up christmas morning. He is happy when he heard he didn't miss christmas day!
