The 12 Days of Christmas
The 12 Days of Christmas is a traditional holiday song. It is also a song that children and adults love to adapt. Changing the lyrics to holiday songs is a fun way to practise English in December! Here is an adaptation for you. Please sing along as you read. If you don’t know the tune, listen to the YouTube video (below) first.
