When does the 12 days of Christmas officially start?
Officially, the 12 Days of Christmas is supposed to start on Christmas day and end on January 5. Although, this may vary depending on where you are from and your traditions.
What is the norm for giving 12 days of Christmas gifts?
When giving gifts, many Americans now countdown 12 days before Christmas, ending on Christmas day. This seems to be the norm with retailers offering Christmas promotions and sales also.
Add a 12 Days of Christmas themed gift
To pull the gift together, you can always give a themed book or ornament. This could be an extra gift or it could be the 1st days gift or something to start the whole thing.
Do I need to get everything on your list?
However you choose to celebrate, here is a fun idea for small 12 days of Christmas gifts. Feel free to substitute anything to suit the person receiving your gift.
How do I print the gift tags?
Download: FREE 12 Days of Christmas Printables and then print! An easy way to do this is to print the description of each gift on labels paper so that you can peel each one off like a sticker and stick it to thicker cardstock paper.
You can also print them out on colored paper. I punched out the numbers with a large hole punch.
