The twelve days of Christmas start on Christmas Day (December 25th) and last until the evening of the 5th January – also known as Twelfth Night, or Epiphany.
The song is about a series of gifts that get bigger and bigger on each of the twelve days of Christmas.

The gifts are:A partridge in a pear tree
Two turtle doves
Three French hens
Four calling birds
Five gold rings
Six geese a laying
Seven swans a swimming
Eight maids a milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten lords a leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming

The first version of the song appeared in 1780 in a children’s book called ‘Mirth without Mischief’.
It was probably designed as a memory game, where each person had to remember a longer part of the song. If they made a mistake they would have to do a forfeit.
The melody for the song was written by the English composer Frederic Austin in 1909.
