[@sergiomulestagno5831]

I like how they include other Christmas songs shortly...

[@ruthbarron625]

From the way I see it. It takes a good memory to remember all the gifts when singing this Christmas song.

[@bugisami]

"My true love" is God, and each gift represents something: the partridge is Jesus, the two turtle doves are the Old and New Testaments, the four calling birds are the four Gospels, etc.

[@YvLo14]

Could you elaborate on that?

[@YvLo14]

Could you elaborate on that?

[@agat1900]

Wow.. finish this. I love it

[@Ziploc530]

So supposedly true love is God The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus on the cross dying for our sins (see Matthews gospel when he said he was a mother hen to Israel) Two turtle doves are the old and New testament Three French hens is debated and I believe it's faith hope and love Four calling birds are the four gospels Matthew Mark Luke and John Five Golden Rings are the first five books of the bible called the Pentateuch The six geese a laying are the six days of creation The seven swans a swimming are the gifts of the Holy Spirit referred in Isiaah 11:2 The eight maids a milking are the 8 beatitudes The nine ladies dancing are the fruit of the spirit in Galatians 5 . The ten Lord's a leaping are the ten commandments The eleven pipers piping are the 11 remaining apostles of Jesus after Judas betrayed and killed himself The 12 drummers drumming are the 12 points of the apostles creed And fun fact Christmas actually is 12 days it starts on December 25th and ends January 5th because January 6th is the epiphany Or the day the wise men traditionally saw Jesus after he was born

In the 50's, England made a short film of this song, taking it literally, so every day the entire list up to that point were given.That's 12 Partridges in pear trees, etc. At the end, the poor girl's place was stuffed with the gifts and she and the generous suitor escaped by hot air balloon. Wish I could find it somewhere. Beautifully done.Musically good and visually comic.
