​On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...6 Gees A Laying,  5 Golden Rings, 4 Calling birds, 3 French Hens, 2 Turtle Doves, And a Partridge in a Pear Tree. Although the specific origins of the chant are not known, it possibly began as a Twelfth Night "memories-and-forfeits" game, in which a leader recited a verse, each of the players repeated the verse, the leader added another verse, and so on until one of the players made a mistake, with the player who erred having to pay a penalty, such as offering up a kiss or a sweet.

Hand and Hammer Sterling Ornament Pendant - 2135 Six Geese A Laying 6th Edition.  This ornament is part of the Hand and Hammer 12 Days of Christmas series that started in 1993 and ended in 2004.  This  item is about 1-3/4" Tall by 1-3/4" Wide.  This sterling ornament is made to wear on a chain, or use on a tree.  The Twelve days of Christmas are a perfect way to use the ornaments as pieces of jewelry.

We look forward to having you as one of our happy buyers.
