Ornement En Métal 8th Day of Christmas Eight Maids A-Milking

Welcome the 8th Day of Christmas—and the first day of the New Year—with this charming “Eight Maids A-Milking” ornament from the Twelve (12) Days of Christmas collection. The design centers on a graceful watercolor milkmaid holding a pail, symbolizing simplicity, service, and abundance. Beside her gleams a large gold “8,” radiant against a softly faded parchment sheet music background. A red circular border frames the scene, with the text “The 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me” curving across the top and “eight maids a-milking” flowing along the bottom, each separated by tiny golden pears to echo the harmony of the full set. On the reverse, a rich red tone-on-tone sheet music background carries the inscription “January 1 – 8th Day of Christmas” in a warm parchment-cream hue. A beautiful keepsake marking both the joy of the New Year and the continuing celebration of the Twelve Days of Christmas, this ornament captures the heart of faith, tradition, and festivity.
