Christmas comedy: 12 days of christmas

So most people know the song - "the 12 days of Christmas" a cute song about true love and crass materialism LOL! But this post is not about the song, but about all the awesome parodies of it that exist.

First up, somebody wrote "12 days after christmas" that documents the breakup of this christmasy relationship. Its really funny!!

The lyrics:
The first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight.
And so I chopped the pear tree down and burned it just for spite.
Then, with a single cartridge, I shot that blasted partridge,
That my true love, my true love gave to me.

The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves
And very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves,
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.

The third day after Christmas, my mother caught the croup;
I had to use the three French hens to make some chicken soup.
The four calling birds were a big mistake,
For their language was obscene .
The five gold rings were completely fake
And they turned my fingers green.

The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay:
I gave the whole darn gaggle to the ASPCA.

On the seventh day what a mess I found:
All seven of the swimming swans had drowned,
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.

The eighth day after Christmas, before they could suspect,
I bundled up the . . .
Eight maids a-milking,
Nine pipers piping,
Ten ladies dancing,
'Leven lords a-leaping,
Twelve drummers drumming
(spoken) Well, actually I kept one of the drummers(girls)
Well, actually I kept one of the maids a-milking(boys)

And sent them back collect.
I wrote my true love, "We are through, love"
And I said in so many words,
"Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the birds!"
(echo of "four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree."

LOLL!!
Other versions of the song:



There are several others on youtube. They all make me laugh!!

There are several parodies of the original song as well. My very favorite is this one - I think its funny and brilliant all at the same time.



Then there is the politically incorrect Indian version (LOL!!)




Teheheheh! As you can see, I am in a Christmas mood, despite all the snow, wind and ice that has been harassing my life.

Hope the season brings amazing things your way. And don't forget, JESUS is the reason for the season.

Ciao.
