12 Days of Christmas

Traditional carol sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford

[@se7ensnakes]

I am not a christian, and i dont buy gifts BUT I LOVE CHRISTMAS and songs like this are the reason.

[@280ji]

Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again. Come to Jesus and He will give u rest His yoke is easy and His burden light.

[@100Amsel]

[@retiredinpetawawa]

I like the way the song stops on the fifth day of Christmas , its so peaceful. Im sure even A Jew Would have to appreaciate this Classic.

[@HUSKEYPUPPY]

@aforencich I see, but I still agree.

[@Gabby5200]

This is my favorite Christmas song

[@ross8783]

HAHA, just saw this. It's Tennessee Ernie Ford as the "Partridge in a Pear Tree". Nicely done!!!!!

[@Tcrumpen]

one hell of a christmas party

[@lordmovie4u]

Jesus bless...and happy Christmas wishes from the Holy Land...Amen

[@1v1atrix]

On the first day of christmas my true love gave to me - Nothing, because I'm single.

[@Achasbajs]

@himaru75 However, if one is to trust wikipedia (and that can of course be argued against) this interpretation is of more recent times.

[@MrTylerNicole1]

What a big key change. At the fifth day, it’s three tones higher, in B flat major now. Starts in G major.

[@iliketobuystuff]

They represent things, like the 2 doves represent the new and the old testaments of the bible

[@sammy1995]

best version of this song on you tube !!

[@Lawson1120]

Thanks for the video. Its the original.

[@MegapiemanPHD]

@aforencich Start a Revolution Sir....Start a Revolution!

[@DragonOracle]

My mind exactly.

[@alexjones3035]

Give them to someone else, of course!;)

[@apache405]

@aforencich: You would calculate that. @ReflectingLink: What kind of gold?

[@NESAtariSegaNerd]

All are either people or a bird except for rings...

[@coolchic480]

Great version of the song tennessee ernie is great

[@adrienneganger4152]

Its bin 16 years now

[@Noximify]

That feel when no true love

[@bo_ko08]

[@hunattila6560]

My favourite Christmas carol! :) Merry Christmas!

[@MsJoshisfat]

The past few Christmas I haven't been able to hear this song. So I looked it up before bed.

[@Catzwillruletheearth]

fabulous...

[@d0ublestr0ker0ll]

I love how in the last verse they ZIP past "5 golden rings", then the standup bass starts.

[@Wildlifesupernannyfan]

Today's 6 geese are laying. My faverate breed of duck.

[@AlexForencich]

@HUSKEYPUPPY I didn't count them at all, actually. The pattern's not all that complicated. 12 * 1 (partridges + pear trees) + 11 * 2 turtle doves + 10 * 3 french hens + etc. etc. And it's also symmetrical after 6 * 7.

[@sleepingbunnies1]

On The 12th Day of Christmas My Teacher Gave To Me……….12 DRUMPLERS DRUMMING!

[@luisytacc]

Yes 1 True Love refers to God 2 Turtle Doves refers to the Old and New Testaments 3 French Hens refers to Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues 4 Calling Birds refers to the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists 5 Golden Rings refers to the first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace.

[@oleg2030]

Wow, what a song!!!

[@209miguelavalos]

Merry Christmas all my friends And a happy new year

[@grcsoriano]

I like it

[@jjff619]

Good, rarely beautiful singing of this song!

[@untrueman]

I was thinking the same thing

[@rIngle70]

they to love you

[@Capn_US]

From Wikipedia: "In fact, variations in lyrics provide evidence against the "catechism song" origin. For example, the four Gospels often are described as the "four calling birds," when in fact the phrase "calling birds" is a modern (probably 20th century) phonetic misunderstanding of "colly birds" (blackbirds)."

[@mixxaX]

love this song.

[@Wildlifesupernannyfan]

That is a restoration to my faith.

[@sabpcd]

[@Donna080]

[@irene-chancovers4871]

[@username951100]

[@luisytacc]

6 Geese A-laying refers to the six days of creation 7 Swans A-swimming refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments 8 Maids A-milking refers to the eight beatitudes 9 Ladies Dancing refers to the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit 10 Lords A-leaping refers to the ten commandments 11 Pipers Piping refers to the eleven faithful apostles 12 Drummers Drumming refers to the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed I put it here due to not fitting in the 500 charachter count.

[@goryuashaya]

14CPO: you are mean one, Mr. Grich!

[@kayolkadavis6843]

[@obnoxiouslegofan]

2:55

[@AlexForencich]

What is someone supposed to do with 12 partridges, 12 pear trees, 22 turtle doves, 30 french hens, 36 calling birds, 40 golden rings, 42 swans a-swimming, 40 maids a-milking, 36 ladies dancing, 30 lords a-leaping, 22 pipers piping, and 12 drummers drumming, exactly?

[@MrTylerNicole1]

You forgot 42 geese a laying. Six times seven days is 42.

[@Be1lover]

You can look it up on Wiki and see what the lyrics stand for. Besides, it's just a song!

[@sandraplane5966]

[@skater1663]

2020 anyone?

[@tmbluedragon912]

whats with all the birds?!?!?

[@queerasfolkbymoi]

@LFSvidMan haha, funniii^^

[@Lander484]

merry christmas

[@protoborg]

@himaru75 It's not "1 True Love". It's "a partridge in a pear tree" which is a reference to peace. "2 turtle doves" is a reference to lovers. "3 french hens" refers to family; aka. mother, father, and child. "4 calling birds" refers to the parents of the husband and wife. The rest I'm not sure about.

[@wwegrl046]

shes lucky...but the thing is Christmas isnt about that its about jesuses birthday

[@dancer4life989]

cool i love the classic version

[@Zunderberg87]

[@RevolverLochness]
