About the 12 Days of Christmas

Using these ornaments can help bring the tradition to life in your home.
Hang one on the tree each day as you countdown, pair it with a themed family activity, or even use the ornaments as inspiration for your own unique holiday rituals. It’s a fun, creative way to connect with loved ones and build lasting memories!
