The Twelve Days of Christmas is a traditional English Christmas carol that counts down the 12 days from Christmas to the Epiphany, the day when the Three Wise Men visited the baby Jesus. The song is often sung in a call-and-response manner, with one person singing the verses and the group repeating the refrain. The verses of the carol mention various gifts that a true love gives to their partner during the 12 days of Christmas, including Partridge in a Pear Tree, Two Turtle Doves, and Five Golden Rings.
