*sold out* "12 Days of Christmas" Complete set of hand-finished needlepoint ornaments
This is a COMPLETE SET of vintage "12 Days of Christmas" Hand-finished needlepoint ornaments. It's likely that these were made from an "activity kit" (a quite sophisticated one!).
These could be hung on the tree, or in their own little metal tree stand. You could also display them side by side, like a banner.
The "12 Days of Christmas" is a traditional Christmas carol that describes a series of gifts given on each day of the holiday season. Here are the gifts for each of the 12 days:
- A partridge in a pear tree
- Two turtle doves
- Three French hens
- Four calling birds
- Five golden rings
- Six geese a-laying
- Seven swans a-swimming
- Eight maids a-milking
- Nine ladies dancing
- Ten lords a-leaping
- Eleven pipers piping
- Twelve drummers drumming
Each verse of the song adds one more gift, repeating all the previous ones in reverse order, creating a cumulative list of gifts.
