“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree …” Are you familiar with all of the lyrics to this song?
“The 12 Days of Christmas” has always been one of my favorite Christmas songs ever since I was a child. It was a bit of a challenge to remember what “my true love gave to me” on all 12 days, but I loved the lyrics.
Well, guess what? Now we can enjoy “The 12 Days of Christmas Shopping on DealDash.com.” Starting on Dec. 12, DealDash will offer a special feature for each of the 12 days, which runs until Dec. 23.

History of the Twelve Days of Christmas
According to my research, a count of exactly 12 days from Dec. 25 would end Jan. 5. The Church of England considers this day to be Twelfth Night, and the day of Epiphany, when the three wise men came, is the day after on Jan. 6.
Some families today still celebrate the 12 days of Christmas by enjoying various family traditions and/or activities together. They may host an Epiphany party to celebrate the visit of the magi (three kings) or they may set aside a special family day together looking through Christmas cards, singing “The 12 Days of Christmas” or playing games like “Name that Christmas Carol.” Some families might even open one gift each day for the 12 days.
It’s interesting to do a little research to learn a little more about the season. Did you know the Statue of Liberty, which France gave to the United States in 1886, is the world’s largest Christmas gift? At 151 feet, 1 inch high and weighing in at 225 tons, that is one record that might never be beat.
One record we all could beat, however, is going for a record number of auction wins during the 12 Days of Christmas Shopping on DealDash.
Merry Christmas everyone!
