Apparently my brother has been misunderstanding the first lyric of the 12 Days of Christmas his whole life. Instead of "Partridge in a Pear Tree,"

he heard,

"Pine Tree in a Pantry"

I was bored today and decided to do the math on how many birds are gifted in “12 days of Christmas”

If we assume that every chorus is counting only new gifts and not recounting any they received on the previous day (because I think that’s funnier) and if we use the gold rings theory that every gift is, in fact, a bird.

We come out to a total of:

364 BIRDS!

Which coincidentally is enough birds for every day except Christmas.

This tally also implies that your true love has also gifted you 12 separate pear trees.

And if you were curious, if we assume that we’re only getting one new gift type each day then it’s a total of 78 birds, which frankly is not as many as I would’ve thought.

St Egwin’s Day/ Five Gold Rings

Source: Handmade Charlotte website

Today is St Egwin’s Day. Egwin was a seventh century English saint about whom a number of far fetched tales are told. Denounced as a liar and a thief, Egwin proved his innocence through the unusual method of locking his own feet in manacles, walking to Rome and, when in the presence of the Pope, converting a fish he had bought into the key to his fetters. He founded Evesham Abbey and allegedly deflected a large clod of earth thrown by a jealous Satan at the new building by the power of prayer. The earth instead fell on Warwickshire where it was eventually named Meon Hill. Egwin also punished a group of ungodly blacksmiths who were rude to him by giving them tails. What allegories lie behind these odd stories are very difficult to discern.

Today is also the Fifth Day of Christmas on which, according to the old carol The Twelve Days of Christmas, the singer’s true love presents him or her with Five Gold Rings. The song originated as a Christmas game in which singers were required to remember and recite the growing number of daily gifts, and failure to do so resulted in elimination from the game. The first line ‘a Partridge in a Pear Tree’ is likely to be a mishearing: the original line was ‘a Part of a Juniper Tree’, a plant that gives off a sweet smell when burnt and apparently wards off evil spirits, which is a rather more logical Christmas gift than the famous partridge sitting in its pear tree.
