The 12 Days of Christmas

The "12 Days of Christmas" is a popular Christmas carol that counts down twelve days of gift-giving, starting on December 25th and ending on January 5th. Each day, the singer receives a series of progressively more elaborate gifts, with each day's presents building on the previous ones. The song uses symbolic imagery, often interpreted as reflecting Christian themes or as a fun way to recount the holiday season. The cumulative nature of the song means each verse adds new gifts while repeating earlier ones, creating a playful and memorable sequence of holiday wishes.
