The 12 Days of Christmas is a traditional Christmas carol that counts down the 12 days leading up to Christmas Day, from December 25th to January 6th, also known as the Epiphany. This is a time of celebration and feasting, as Christians believe that this is the day when the Three Wise Men finally found the infant Jesus in the stable in Bethlehem. It is also a time when many Christmas decorations are taken down and the focus shifts to New Year's Eve celebrations.
