Atlantic CHRISTMAS!!!!

DoY, that sounds like fun!



mmmmm......turtledoves....

 

my turtle doves!!!

*writes a note to remind her to take the ice cream sandwiches to school tomorrow, so Ryan doesn't get any next week*

 

My ice cream sandwiches!!!!

*decides not to buy Tammy any more turtle doves*

 

The 12 days of Christmas originated as an underground catechism for teaching Christian doctrine. When Parlimentoutlawed the practice of Catholicism in England, this song prung up as a way of preserving biblical truth (Protestant too!)

A Partridge in a pear tree=Christ on the cross (a partridge due to her protection of her young chicks)

2 Turtle doves= old and new testaments

3 French hens= faith, hope, and charity, The theological virtues

4 calling birds=the 4 gospels

5 golden rings= the first 5 books of the OT.

6 geese-a-laying= the 6 days of creation

7 swans a-swimming=the 7 gifts of the holy spirit

8 maids a-milking=the 8 beatitudes

9 ladies dancing= the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit

10 lords a-leaping= the 10 commandments

11 pipers piping= the 11 faithful apostles

12 Drummers drumming= the 12 points of doctrine in the Apostle's creed.

*This all came from our school's paper. Did that answer the question tammy????

 

Is that really how it originated? Where did the source come from? It's a neat idea, but many times, someone will just make that up and then people believe them. It could very well be true, but I'm always the skeptic about stuff like that.

 

Great job, Theresa!

It's just a possibility, Ryan....no one's sayin it's true.

 

like I said, I was only giving a guess based on an article in the school paper.


here:
Guess the carol:

Bleached Yule

 

White Christmas.

 

That was an easy one!

Castaneous-colored Seed Vesticated in a Conflageration

 

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire aka. The CHRISTMAS Song(not anything else)

 

What's going on?

 

I still prefer Bob and Doug McKenzie's version of the 12 days of Christmas.

 

Hey!! It's 12 days till Christmas! Does this mean I get a partridge in a pear tree?

 

I could mail you a pear if you'd like!

 

The first thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me...

IS FINDING A CHRISTMAS TREE!!

The second thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me...

*waits for someone to continue*

 

The second thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me, is:

THE CAT TEARING DOWN THE LIGHTS
and
FINDING A CHRISTMAS TREE!

P.S. Did I do it right?

 

The third thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me

is wrapping odd shaped gifts,

THE CAT TEARING DOWN THE LIGHTS
and
FINDING A CHRISTMAS TREE!

 

LOL...close, Sarah...

The second thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me...

RIGGIN UP THE LIGHTS!

And finding a Christmas tree.

The third thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me

HANGOVERS!

RIGGIN UP THESE LIGHTS!

And finding a Christmas tree.

The fourth thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me...

 

Mine's better because it's personal . . . I keep re-writing songs . . . someone make me stop!

 

ummmm...Tammy?

 

Yes?

 

please check your counting. unless you don't like my verse

 

Huh? I knew you had a third verse there. I just didn't know if y'all wanted to make up your own, or do the Twisted Christmas version.

Hey...that could be fun to make up our own!! We should do the Atlantic Canada Twelve Days of Christmas song!! Woohoo!

Starting today, we could write two songs at once! First put "the one thing of Christmas that such a joy to me" and fill that in, then underneath do "the one thing of Christmas that's such a pain to me" and fill that in. Then, after yours, repeat whatever has already been said!!! Hehe, that could be fun!

Ok, everyone pick a day. I'll take day seven, cause seven is my favorite number!

 

thats confusing!!!!!!!!!!! you go ahead and sing!

 

Can't we just keep going from Theresa's line?
