Epiphany, January 6th, is not one of the twelve days of Christmas, but technically a separate feast day that's still rather Christmas-y.

The fruitcake looks good and yes, it is interesting about the twelve days of Christmas. I wonder when this tradition ended? Maybe it is still a custom in England.
