The twelve days of christmas, in fact start on christmas day 25th December and finish on the 6th January, this is why people take down their christmas decoorations on the 6th as it is seen to be bad luck to have decorations up afterwards.
Hope i have helped.

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). The associated evenings of the twelve days begin on the evening before the specified day. Thus, the first night of Christmas is December 25–26, and Twelfth Night is January 5–6.

I believe it's Christmas Day and continues until January 6.

B) The 13th as its about the 12 days getting ready for christmas, it is tradition for trees and decorations to go up on the 13th and thats when something holy to do with jesus happened =P x

They probably begin on december the 13th, as Mary and Joseph must have left the place they lived to save their near-to-be-born baby from Herode's orders to kill all children below 2 years of age.
That's my guess.

Christmas Day, of course!
And the 12th day is 5th January - day before the feast of the Epiphany.
