The eleventh and twelfth days of Christmas?

[JayEgo]

There has been some debate this year, as usual, concerning the final days of Christmas and whether they entail drummers, lords, ladies or pipers?

So, to settle things once and for all, or to just continue the arguement for evermore in here... Here's the poll for you to make your view known...

:note: On the Thirteenth Day of Christmas, Jayson gave to us... :note:

I keep remembering "Eleven benevolent elephants. . ."

[Beisla]

I keep remembering "Eleven benevolent elephants. . ." Lol, I don't remember that one! :laugh:


I went for the first choice, but that's mostly a guess.

[Hans]

Piping sounds nice but gimme monkeys any day!

[Dawn]

It took me a few minutes, but I picked the right one. :ok: And no, I didn't read the thread. ;)

I love the PMD option though. :laugh:

[Shazza]

Twelve Monkeys Washing, Eleven Alternative Answers...

[JayEgo]

You gave away the actual answer? :faint: :scared:That's not the actual answer that I have!

Mausey is just stating her opinion... Unlike those who've opted for PMD and not said what they really think :irked:

Fence-Sitters! :evil:

[Cameo]

I have an embroidered sampler that says 11 Ladies dancing, 12 Lords-a-Leaping.

[JayEgo]

I have an embroidered sampler that says 11 Ladies dancing, 12 Lords-a-Leaping.Which is how I sing it too :D

But in a cracker, the trivia asked what was eleven and it said drummers drumming :roll:

Ja¥son xx

[AnnMarie]

I've never had trouble recalling the last two...probably because when we did the Thwelve Days After Christmas in high school, I got the spoken line of "Well, actually, I kept one of the drummers!".

[Mausey]

Here's a link I found on google, lots of info.

[bisb]

I had to look it up. :roll:

[Dawn]

But... but... but...

There isn't a right answer!

Ja¥son xx

I've never heard it sung any other way, so it's the right answer to me. ;)

[j_mercuryuk]

why sing it the way it's surposed to be when you can make it up!

[Milo]

twelve KTers debating, eleven confused carolers

[Nefermiw]

I've never read the lyrics to this song, but I've heard it sung a lot of times.
I voted on: Twelve Monkeys Washing, Eleven Alternative Answers... 'cause I sometimes (at Xmas time :xmas1: ) make up my own lyrics to this song - I guess I could have been seen singing "12 monkeys washing..." if I was cleaning the appartment one fine Xmas day :D .

:bouncy:

[JayEgo]

Thank you for the interesting link Mausey! It seems to err on the side of the drummers but I still prefer the sound of Lords :evil:

And we're definately not at all divided on our opinions of this... 7/6 :roll:

Ja¥son xx

[jjmouse]

So gald I found this thread.

[ladyholdermara]

I chose option 2 :D I don't exactly remember what that was at the moment lol but then that's what happens when I sing the song lol I forget it a couple of minutes after

[JayEgo]

You know, the answer to this is so clear that the PMD's have the most responses :roll:

I shall stick with my version for next year... Or make one up :evil:
