Ah, the 12 Days of Christmas – a well-worn seasonal classic and no mistake. But can you ever remember how many lords there were a-leaping? Or maids a-milking? Or, for that matter, drummers drumming?

We always struggled … until now.

To welcome in the festive season, we've designed a handy visual reminder to help you recall how many of what or whom were given by 'my true love'. (And it really was a generous if unusual array of gifts, all told.)

Want to view/download a pdf of the whole 12 days design? No problem; here you go: http://scr.bi/12-days-of-christmas

Use it as a crib sheet when singing the song! Be amused by the funny little illustrations! Groan and *eye roll* at the naff wordplay!

Whatever you do; we hope you have a warm and wonderful festive season.

Stocking-filler for festive fact fans: The 12 Days of Christmas – also known as Christmastide – starts on 25th December and ends on 5th January; the evening of which is known as Twelfth Night. True.
