A great way to really showcase this theme is to get something that says the “12 Days of Christmas” and hang this near the top of your tree to really show what the theme is. It is definitely a theme that is fun, but also takes some thinking to get it to where you want it to be! Some people have even gotten the huge cutouts of “1” and “2” then spelled out “DAYS” on the tree so that those who came into their home would see just what the theme was. It is one theme that not everyone else will be using as it does take some thought to get it to where it needs to be.
