Ranking the Gifts of the 12 Days of Christmas from Worst to Best

12.) Twelve drummers drumming- Too damn loud!

11.) Eleven pipers piping- Not as loud, but I don’t think I can listen to that much piping.

10.) Six geese a-laying- Messy, messy, messy!

9.) Two turtle doves- One step removed from pigeons, the gutter rats of the sky.

8.) Four calling birds- Who are they calling? And why? I don’t need a bunch of spies in my house.

7.) Three french hens- Meat

6.) Eight maids a-milking- I have kids who love milk and I’m a cereal fan. Plus with those 8 maids working round the clock, I can sell some of the milk and make myself a little cash.

5.) Ten lords a-leaping- They literally have to say, “How high?” when I say jump.

4.) Seven swans a-swimming- Pretty birds

3.) Nine ladies dancing- The male gaze strikes again!

2.) A partridge in a pear tree- I don’t care about the bird, but I’m a big pear fan. Also, trees clean the air we breathe.

1.) Five gold rings- Five gets me half way to the picture below. A shame they aren’t green though.
