The 12 Days Code

       
           As everyone knows, the memorable christmas song "The Twelve days of Christmas" is actually a secrete code-song for the Christian faith. What, you've never heard of that totally legitimate historical fact? Maybe you will understand if I reveal the secrets of the song to you, the reader of this blog. You see from the 15th - 18th centuries Christianity was frowned upon in some places. So the christians wrote a song to celebrate their religion. Here is the code:

1 Partridge/Pear tree stands for Jesus
2 Turtle doves = the new and the old testament  
3 French hens = faith, hope, and love or the Holy Trinity
4 collie birds = the four gospels
5 golden rings = Pentateuch (first four books of the bible)
6 geese a-laying = 6 days in which God created earth
7 swans a-swimming = the 7 gifts of the Holy spirit
8 maids a-milking = the 8 beatitudes (blessed are...)
9 drummers drumming = the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 pipers piping = the ten commandments
11 ladies dancing = the eleven apostles (Judas doesn't count for some reason)
12 lords a-leaping = 12 statements in Apostles' Creed (which would be an epic band name)


See? Don't you get it now? Jesus and partridges? It all makes sense right?

            You don't see it? Well lucky you, because its a load of @#$%*& (writers note: I have never used many of those keys before). So yea, this myth is simply another example of Christians biblizing everything. Like when a devout christian thanking Jesus for the heart-shaped rock they found.

See because the rock symbolizes God, who is Jesus, who made rocks and hearts,
and this is a rock and a heart in one! So join our church. 

           It turns out this myth was developed in 1979 by a Canadian english teacher who said he came up with the theory when he was talking to some old Canadians. And it cannot be true because the song originates from France, where Christianity was the main religion at that time. And there are other reasons that I don't really want to type out, so bye.

Typical English teacher move, making stuff up. Like saying
that "bibilizing" is not a real word.
