what are the 12 days christmas

The 12 Days of Christmas is a traditional English Christmas carol that has been adapted into various versions worldwide. It's a counting song that describes 12 different gifts given by a "true love" to their beloved during the 12 days of Christmas, which are the 12 days leading up to Christmas Day. Each gift is usually represented by a different Christmas-related item, such as a partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, three French hens, four calling birds, five golden rings, and so on.
