Partridge in a Pear Tree
We sang the 12 Days of Christmas at our choir concert on Saturday, so today it was great to see the words represented by snowmen after Raymond Briggs's picture book The Snowman:
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day ... Two turtledoves
On the third day ... Three French hens
On the fourth day ... Four calling birds
On the fifth day ... Five gold rings
On the sixth day ... Six geese a-laying
On the seventh day ... Seven swans a-swimming
On the eighth day ... Eight maids a-milking
On the ninth day ... Nine ladies dancing
On the tenth day ... Ten lords a-leaping
On the eleventh day ... Eleven pipers piping
On the twelfth day ... Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree!
Can you spot them all?
