This year, my amazing family worked with me to do a 12 days of Christmas dinner for Christmas Eve. It was a break from our normal routine but I think we needed it! Since I only made four of the twelve dishes, those are the ones I have recipes for.
For dinner we had Twelve Drummers Drumming Drumsticks, Eleven Pipers Piping Krumkake, Ten Lords A-Leaping Cocktail, Nine Ladies Dancing Cookies, Eight Maids A-Milking Cocktail, Seven Swans A-Swimming Rolls, Six Geese A-Laying Deviled Eggs, Five Golden Calamari Rings, Four Calling Birds Pot Pie, Three French Hens Tequila Lime Chicken Wings, Two Turtle Dove Chocolates, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree Crostini.

Seven Swans A-Swimming Rolls
I made these out of crescent rolls. I used a large glass and used it to cut out circles. I folded the circle in half and made cuts to make a swan. See instructions here.
