Did You Know?

The Twelve Days Of Christmas Gifts Carol actual starts on Christmas day? The twelve days in the song are the twelve days starting Christmas Day, or in some traditions, the day after Christmas or St. Stephen's Day, as being the feast day of St. Stephen to the day before Epiphany, or the Feast of the Epiphany. The Twelfth Night is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "the evening of the fifth of January, preceding Twelfth Day, the eve of the Epiphany, formerly the last day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking."

Although the specific origins of the chant are not known, it possibly began as a Twelfth Night "memories-and-forfeits" game, in which a leader recited a verse, each of the players repeated the verse, the leader added another verse, and so on until one of the players made a mistake, with the player who erred having to pay a penalty, such as offering up a kiss or a sweet.

The song apparently is older than the printed version, though it is not known how much older. Textual evidence indicates that the song was not English in origin, but French, though it is considered an English carol. Three French versions of the song are known. If the "partridge in a pear tree" of the English version is to be taken literally, then it seems as if the chant comes from France, since the red-legged (or French) partridge, which perches in trees more frequently than the native common  partridge, was not successfully introduced into England until about 1770.
