"Correct! The 12 days of Christmas is a Christmas carol that consists of 12 verses, each one describing a gift that was given to the singer by his true love. Each verse corresponds to a day, and the gifts are all animals, specifically birds. The gifts start with a partridge in a pear tree and then progress through a variety of other birds, including turtle doves, French hens, and a host of other creatures. It's a really fun song to sing, and it's one of the most popular Christmas carols ever written."
