We all know the song, especially the undeniably contagious "Five gold rings!" line, but how many people know that the Twelve Days of Christmas are also known as Christmastide (or Twelvetide) and begin on Christmas Day, not (as the commercial calendar would have you believe) on the 14th December?
The Twelve Days of Christmas are celebrated in different fashions the world over.
