Department 56 Twelve Drummers Drumming Heritage Village Accessory 56.58387

Is believed that 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' was probably first recited or sung by wandering troubadours in Medieval times... but the first 'penned' reference to this familiar English carol does not appear until the eighteenth century. And, like so many of our favorite holiday traditions, the original custom and meanings of this song have changed or have been lost with the passing of time. While 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' reached the height of its popularity during Dickensian times, it still remains a traditional holiday classic carol today.

Heritage Village Collection accessories and figurines enhance the unique charm of the lighted pieces in any display. Over the years improved design, sculpting, and hand-painting techniques have resulted in pieces increasingly more detailed and colorful.
