what are in the 12 days of christmas

The 12 days of Christmas is a popular Christmas carol that is often sung during the 12 days leading up to Christmas. The lyrics describe a series of gifts that are given to the recipient over the course of 12 days, including "a partridge in a pear tree", "two turtle doves", "three French hens", and so on. The song is thought to have originated in England and has been popular since the 18th century. It is now a Christmas classic and is often sung as part of holiday celebrations.
