Advent Calendar Day 12

[zaber]

It's Saturday, nerds! It's also December 12, so today's advent topic is the Twelve Days of Christmas. Specifically, what is your favorite verse in this classic and entirely-too-long holiday carol? Please note that "favorite" can also mean "gift you personally find most horrifying." (Who would want seven swans? Have you ever met a swan? Just the one would be more than enough for any sane person.)

Your reward for participating is three choice character cards with the number 12! Enjoy!

Five golden rings because I always used to be able to sing that line p well when I was a kid. I was proud :P

taking musket12, vaccine12, waitress12, thank you!

Who doesn't like the five gold rings line? It's the best part. I do like the partridge in the pear tree, though.

Taking pluto12, suihua12, maester12. Thank you!

The entire song. Oh, god. They repeat everything from before in each part of the song, so it almost implies that they sent them again. In total the person would get:
11 Partridges in Pear Trees, 22 Turtle Doves, 30 French Hens, 36 Calling Birds, 40 Golden Rings, 42 Geese a Laying, 42 Swans a Swimming, 40 Maids a Milking, 36 Ladies Dancing, 30 Lords a Leaping, 22 Pipers Piping, 12 Drummers Drumming

You could open a zoo... with a marching band.

Choice: advisor12, atomic12, control12

I always liked the little line of two turtle doves. It's a sweet thought when you remember that they are symbolic of love and faithfulness.

Taking kira12, skypirate12, tanagura12, thank you!

Gotta go with the "five gold rings" verse myself. It's pretty much the one line any given person is guaranteed to know, and everyone sings it as obnoxiously as possible.

Taking zanza12, ragnarok12, bowwow12!

The partridge in a pear tree is probably my favourite, I can't help but imagining it as a chukar partridge. All thanks to my old Hatoful obsession I bet X)

I think that my favorite line is seven swans a'swimming, but I would like to receive four calling birds. Just as long as they didn't perch above my car, lol.

Taking kimono12, unchanging12, unkillable12, thanks!

[admiral]

haha I always used to think the funniest line was the ten lords a-leaping because just imagine your true love bringing in a jumping mob of 18th century lords to your house or whatever. they all just leap through your door like a bunch of kangaroos.
