Discussion The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pair tree.
On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Three French hens
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pair tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Four calling birds,
Three French hens
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pair tree.
Five gold rings
Six geese a-laying
Seven swans a-swimming
Eight maids a-milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten lords a-leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming
