12 Days of Christmas: 

"On the second day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree."

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Isle of Man 50p Christmas coin from 2006 is that it features a unique design that was created by a local artist, Michael Parkinson. The design depicts a festive scene of a snow-covered village, complete with a church, houses, and a snowman, all surrounded by holly and mistletoe. The coin's design is particularly notable because it was the first time that a Christmas theme had been featured on an Isle of Man coin.
