Books with title Twelve Days of Christmas - Hardcover Christmas Book

I am a twelve-year-old boy, and my life hasn’t been easy so far. My father died two years ago, leaving my mother and I in severe debt.My mom works double shifts cleaning rooms in a rundown motel, trying to scrape together as much money as she can. I hear her crying at night, and I know she is worried about paying our bills and keeping food on the table.When my dad was alive, he drank and smoked all the time and could never hold down a job. He blamed my mother for his problems, and I heard them yelling at each other every night. I remember my mom saying something to him about a twelve-step program and how he kept missing meetings and didn’t seem to want to get better. That’s what gave me my idea...

The Twelve Days of Christmas begin on Christmas Day and end on January 5th. Twelfth Night, the eve of Feast of the Epiphany, was traditionally observed as the last day of the Christmas festivities. The words to this English Christmas Carol were first published in 1780 but most likely originated in France. The music for the 12-verse round was composed by Frederic Austin in 1909. Twelve large, bright illustrations provide an enhanced reading experience!
