The Twelve Days of Christmas is a popular Christmas carol that counts down the twelve days leading up to Christmas Day.

The gifts are: a partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, three French hens, four calling birds, five golden rings, six geese a-laying, seven swans a-swimming, eight maids a-milking, nine ladies dancing, ten lords a-leaping, eleven pipers piping, and twelve drummers drumming.
