The 12 days of christmas

We've all heard the popular (albeit rather strange) Christmas carol: "On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a partridge in a pear tree..." And while that first line is well-known and easily quotable, the lyrics continue on with eleven more days of gifts which don't exactly roll off the tongue effortlessly. But it's not just a totally random song—there's real meaning (and a possible secret code!) behind "The Twelve Days of Christmas" (or "12 Days of Christmas").
When the holiday season comes upon us, it's normal for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to be the main highlights for Christmas celebrations. Before the 24th and 25th of December, most of us consumers are in a mad dash to finish our holiday shopping and gift-wrapping. After those two days, the focus suddenly shifts to the next upcoming, two-day celebration: New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. But "The Twelve Days of Christmas" implies that there's a longer time period of celebration for this one holiday, so are most of us missing something?!

Gifts

ift-giving season has officially arrived, and here at the Strategist, we pride ourselves on having a spot-on holiday gift idea for every person on your list. That’s because our team of obsessive shoppers has been doing the legwork, a.k.a. writing and thinking about presents, all year long. We’ve combed through our archives to come up with beloved products we’ve written about before, as well as going directly to the source and asking grandparents, teenage girls, and many more types of recipients for their recommendations. The result is this guide of 87 expert-backed options — many of which we’ve tested ourselves — and even some new items that are just too special to miss. So whether you’re looking for something for your never-satisfied nephew, your world-traveling best friend (who’s also a hiker), your new co-worker, or your child’s kindergarten teacher, we’ve got you covered.
