    Christmas Song Trivia

    Without looking it up, Name all 12 "gifts" in The Twelve Days of Christmas song. Traditional song that is, no modern or redneck variations, beginning with the bird in the tree.

     

    JFMI, did ya have to sing it to yourself to get the answers? LOL!




    Yes, I know I am a btch.
    I have been a btch all my life. I am good at it.
    It takes very little effort on my part, and I am used to it. Applying the same reasoning to you, I cannot understand your offense at being called stupid.

    I know there's a Pear Tree & a Partridge which counts as *one* item.  What happens if that Partridge is allergic to Pears?!?

    A sick bird is NOT a good thing.  Indifferent

    And there's 5 golden rings.

    Why someone would want 5 of the same ring, I don't know.  Unless by ring they mean circular jewelry...that would work. Yes

    LOL can't do it without singing huh?

     

    Last year I was out shopping for our trip, dh called me and said the whole mill was going to shut down if he (meaning me) couldn't give them the answer to this question. ROFL! I was standing there in Walmart with a cell phone to my ear, singing the 12 days of Christmas! DH finally said to email the words to to one of the engineers so I called a friend of mine and asked her to look them up and mail them to Brian LOL!

    12 lords a-leaping, 11 pipers piping, 10 drummers drumming, 9 ladies dancing, 8 maids a-milking, 7 swans a-swimming, 6 geese a-laying, 5 golden rings, 4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.  I think. I may have gotten the lords and the drummers mixed up!   And yes, I had to sing the last part in my head!

    Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.

    LOL

     

    Footsie, I could only do it if I sang it and then I could only do it beginning with 12 because that's how you sing it.  LOL  You would think I could do it starting with the partridge but noooooooo my little old brain doesn't want to work that way!  Stick out tongue

    Yes...pray tell...if they are wearing spandex do they look like Baryshnikov or Larry the cable guy??  Surprise

     

    Considering all the game they're coming home with I'm afraid it might be more Larry than Mikhail.  Tongue Tied

    Me thinks we can agree that Mr. D could skip the spandex...perhaps a kilt would be a much better Idea!

    Less...umm...confining. Yes
