The twelve days of Christmas are the twelve days between Christmas (December 25th) and Epiphany (January 6th), which celebrates the visit of the three wise men to the infant Jesus .. Christmas Day is Day 1.

The tradition of giving a gift on each of the twelve days is pretty much gone.  However, in some families, that tradition persists in a simplified form.  One Christmas, recently, I made 15-minute crayon-and-ink sketches on 12 lunch bags for my granddaughter.  It was tubs of fun for the youngster, her teacher and classmates, and me.
