All twelve days are painted on one round platter, each with its own number and its own small scene, from the partridge to the drummers. Set it out when the family starts counting down to Christmas, point to one day at a time, and the carol turns into a game.

The fluted rim is hand-painted by Mud Pie and edged in olive green. The size, 11" across, is made for a ring of sliced fruit, nuts or clementines at the center of the table. The little vignettes are drawn in a storybook style, with a cardinal for the fourth day and a pair of dancers for the ninth, and each day carries its own number beside its scene.
