The Twelve Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas

My true love sent to me:

In earlier centuries, the twelve days of Christmas usally started after Christmas Day on the 26th and ran through to January 6th of the New Year.

In medieval times, this was a time of celebration, of feasts, entertainment and above all, time off from work.
