Because 13 is unlucky. (kidding)
The Twelve Days of Christmas and the associated evenings of those twelve days (Twelve-tide), are the festive days beginning the evening of Christmas Day (December 25) through the morning of Epiphany on (January 6).

12 is a special number that only the privelged were allowed to know about. Priest caste for instance Levites. Hint, it has to do with keeping track of time which really was the difference between life and death for farming societies. 12 disciples of Jesus. 12 tribes of Israel. The obvious double meaning is right in front of you.
