The Ultimate
12 Days of Christmas
Gift Idea List
Most people nowadays celebrate the twelve days of Christmas starting on the 13th or 14th of December (depending on whether they want to deliver the last gift on Christmas Eve or Christmas day). Historically, the 12 Days of Christmas actually start with Christmas Day and finish with the eve of Epiphany on January 5.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that people are probably going to like getting gifts no matter when they come!
