BirdBrain, I really like what you put in about the 12 days of Christmas and what it mean. I was wondering if I can put that in our church bulletin? I think it would be good for all to see it. Thank you for the inspiration!

I too, was glad to get the interpretation. Thanks, BridBrain!

ChickenRanchWife, here is a link I Googled that has some more detail -


Twelve Days of Christmas

The song has absolutely NOTHING to do with religion. Although many would like to believe it, it's NOT true.

Once again SNOPES puts the issue to rest. Any connection to religious symbolism is simply an URBAN MYTH.

Whether it is or is not a symbolic religious song or merely means exactly what the words say, we aren't going to solve here, obviously. I'm closing this topic at the request of the original poster. Thanks for your participation, folks.
