what are the 12 days of xmas

The 12 days of Christmas are a traditional counting rhyme and song from England that is also popular in the United States. It is a religious carol that celebrates the days between Christmas and Epiphany, which is the day we celebrate the revelation of God as Jesus Christ. The song consists of 12 verses, each describing a different gift that is given to the singer by their true love. The gifts range from partridges in pear trees to lords a-leaping, with each verse adding another gift.
