The
Twelve Days of Christmas series began in the summer of 2006 when Joyce designed the "
Partridge in the Pear Tree Santa" as a tribute to the renowned Christmas carol first written as a "Catechism song" to help young Catholics learn the beliefs of their faith. The song’s gifts are hidden meanings to the teachings of the faith while the “true love” referred to in the song is symbolic of God. Joyce each year has designed at least one new Caroler to commemorate the wonderful holiday carol,
The Twelve Days of Christmas.
