There was NO Sweetheart in the song The Twelve Days of Christmas.
There was a True Love though:
Giving a gift for the twelve days of Christmas is up to each family. Personally, I believe it would be fun, but it might get a bit costly. I think doing something nice for each member of the family for the twelve days of Christmas is a good alternative.

Despite the popular song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" the actual holiday of Christmas is just one day, December 25th. However, many people celebrate Christmas in various ways for much longer periods of time. For some people it lasts from late November to early January.
In the song "Twelve Days of Christmas" a person is gifted with many legged creatures. In fact, in only one departure from living creatures does the gift giver give the receiver a non-legged item, the 5 golden rings. In total, the number of legs that are given to the receiver in the song is 648. There is an argument to be made that as the eight maids were "a'milking" then you should include the cows legs, which would make it 808 legs. The maids would be sitting on three legged stools. If those are also included the total would be 928 legs!
From the Song, The 12 Days of Christmas, it is 11 Pipers Piping.
