Maybe this will settle the question!!!!......Gram

Gram, I think you settled the debate. However, you must admit my Leaping Lords are much easier on the eyes. OTOH, the Anne Geddes picture is simply too cute for words!

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

Less...umm...confining.

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

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
