What are the Twelve Days of Christmas?
The Twelve Days of Christmas are observed by Christians throughout the world. Although the commercialization of the season has led to the belief among many in the United States that Christmas Day ends the celebration, it is actually the first day of Christmastide. In many denominations, the four weeks before Christmas are a time of preparation (called “Advent”), and carols and symbols of Christmas aren’t evident until Christmas Day and continue for twelve days, until January 6, or Epiphany.
