12 Days of Christmas

"On the first day of Christmas,

my true love gave to me..."

The 12 Days of Christmas is traditionally celebrated starting on Christmas Day. But you can take the theme and celebrate anytime in December. Pick one day or combine ideas from several to create a custom party your guests will love.

You can also incorporate some traditions from around the world into the theme. Like Scottish traditions for Day 11 - 'Eleven Pipers Pipping' since Scotland is known for their bagpipes.
