Twelve drummers drumming

We have come to our final day of Christmas and, if you don't mind me mentioning, my favorite. Really! What could be better than twelve drummers drumming!!! Not to mention our 'true love' gets off cheap! There is at least one drum circle going on tonight, and probably more. So we end our jaunt through the commercial nightmare that has become Christmas with a lovely evening pounding out random rhythms on our drums, enjoying good company and creating some jammin' energy. (Pardon the pun) Just think, if all the days of Christmas were like that, imagine the magical season we would have!!!!!

Day 12's tally goes like this:

A partridge in a pear tree - $64.83
Two love birds with all the fixin's - $195.15
Three cornish hens - $7.50
Four calling birds - $130.49
Five golden rings - $695.45
Six geese-a-laying - $20.00
Seven swans-a-swimming - $84.00
Eight maids-a-milking - $480.00
Nine ladies dancing - $900.00
Ten lords-a-leaping - $200.00
Eleven pipers piping - $150.00
Twelve drummers drumming - $0

For a 12th day grand total of $2927.42

Our tally for all twelve days of Christmas rings in at $17281.62 which is well under Forecast Earth's. Although I will admit we took some pretty major creative license with our list!!!!

FTR, I am planning to cook the partridges, sell the love birds and feed the annoying finches to the snake!!!! And if my 'true love' ever gives me another bird....well, it might get ugly!!!! Oh, and I have forgiven him for the whole 'nine ladies dancing' thing!!! :)

Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Yule, Happy Kwanzaa, Merry Squidmas.... (did I miss anything?)
