"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is an English #ChristmasCarol and #nurseryRhyme. A classic example of a #cumulativeSong, the #lyrics detail a series of increasingly numerous gifts given to the speaker by their "true love" on each of the #twelveDaysOfChristmas (the twelve days that make up the #ChristmasSeason, starting with #ChristmasDay). The carol, whose words were first published in England in the late eighteenth century, has a #RoudFolkSongIndex number of 68.
