Hi Everybuddy -
This morning the annual report of the grand total cost of the 12 Days Of Christmas was released. For a brief history of how the beloved Christmas poem came to be, click here. It has become customary for various groups to calculate just how much it would cost to present a loved one with the gifts of the 12 Days of Christmas each year. This year's price tag is $86,609.00. You can catch Shyla's reaction here:
"HOW MUCH???"Take a look:
Can you believe it? I think I'd be willing to do without the 5 Golden Rings this year but we have to have the Partridge In A Pear tree, not to mention the Swans. A guy's gotta have some fun after all.
"Seven swans please!"
"Swans? We're getting swans??!"
"Leaping Lords might be nice"

Ooo we'll take a few swans too...whats with all the birds in that song anyway?
Woof! It's nice to meet you! Thanks for the well-wishes. We sure are thankful for all you nice fur friends.
Love,

Seven Swans sounds swell. You could definitely have a house full of feathers with calling birds, french hens and turtle doves. I bet your jumps are just like flying.
Happy Days.

Is it 8 maids a milking? I like milk.

how many squirrels? Can we substitute? 12 squirrels simmering?
Our Mom saw that story in the paper today. The three French hens were cheaper this year than last - wonder why? We'll try some hens, some swans, and that partridge - and the squirrels if The Thundering Herd finds them.

I wonder if swans taste like chicken. Or maybe turkey. Yum!

Yeah, we like the shimmering squirrels. We could replace those pipers with squawking seagulls too!
Wooos & a-roos,
Star & Jack a-roo
Wow! Mom is afraid of swans. She says they really aren't worth as much as everything thinks they should be. One chased her once a very long time ago and she's never forgotten it.

WOO WOO
We totally agree with you! Swans and partridges! We need the birds, don't we!

That is a LOT of money! Your pup has it right- why go through all of that when you can do other things. :)
Hee hee hee! I like Shyla's reaction!
Zim wants the babes a-dancing. I tried telling him there weren't babes in the song, but he just said "ha roo!" Sigh.
Love,
Ammy
