Gene Newman, a dear friend and homeschooling dad of ten children from Michigan, forwarded this information. Thought y'all would be interested.
Christmas is a season of the Christian Year that lasts for the twelve days beginning December 25 and lasting until January 6 the Day of Epiphany, when the church celebrates the revelation of Christ as the Light of the world and recalls the journey of the Magi.
From 1558 until 1829 Roman Catholics in England were not allowed to practice their faith openly. During that era someone wrote The Twelve Days of Christmas as a kind of secret catechism that could be sung in public without the risk of persecution. The song has two levels of interpretation: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of the church. Each element in the carol is a code word for a religious reality.
The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus Christ.
The two turtledoves are the older and newer testaments. (Hebrews 8:6-13)
Three French hens stand for faith, hope and love. (1 Corinthians 13:13; 1 Thess. 5:8)
The four calling birds are the four Gospels.
The five gold rings recall the Torah (Law), the first five books of the older testament.
The six geese a-laying stand for the six days of creation. (Genesis 1)
Seven swans a-swimming represent the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
The eight maids a-milking are the eight beatitudes. (Matthew 5:3:-11)
Nine ladies dancing? These are the nine fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23).
The ten lords a-leaping are the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20; Deuteronomy 5:6-21).
Eleven pipers piping stand for the eleven faithful disciples.
Twelve drummers drumming symbolize the 12 points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

The holly bears a blossom,
The holly bears a berry, The holly bears a prickle,
The holly bears a bark, The holly and the ivy, |

Said the little lamb to the
shepherd boy, Said the shepherd boy to the
mighty king, Said the king to the people
everywhere, |

E'en so here below, below,
Pray you, dutifully prime |

I saw three ships a-sailing,
I saw three ships a-sailing,
I saw three ships a-sailing.
I saw three ships come sailing
