"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a traditional and lengthy English Christmas carol. It is based on the premise that the singer receives one gift per day from his or her "true love" over the twelve days immediately following Christmas Day. Each verse repeats all of the previous gifts listed; thus, one could say that the singer receives 364 gifts total—or one a day until next Christmas, when the process begins all over again. However, if only the first line of each verse is counted (thus all the gifts in the last verse), the gifts total 78. In the episode "When Santas Collide", Penny sings the song to Rudy's family while Rudy is off with Snap substituting for one of ChalkZone's eight Santas from the Squadron.
