My 12 days of Christmas.

The real 12 days of Christmas start on Christmas Day, and continue until the feast of the Epiphany...the song was used by Catholics during the persecution by Queen Elizabeth in England to celebrate their faith with Christ being the partridge in a pear tree...all the items had hidden religious meaning... i don't mean to be sacreligious, but this came to me in the middle of the night, and i thought it was funny...
