The Twelve Days of Christmas is an English Christmas carol whose words were first published in England in the late eighteenth century.
Frederic Austin was known to popularize the arrangement of the song we know today in 1909.
The lyrics detail a series of increasingly numerous gifts given on each each of the twelve days of Christmas.
This classic Christmas song has been making kids and adults of all ages giggle with Christmas joy for years. Sometimes a challenge to sing, but once mastered, it never grows old!
