Um, I guess I miscalculated…
Here is what all the nonsense that I have blogged about over the prior twelve days is supposed to symbolize, at least according to the place that I have been referencing each day (true, I do not have this song committed to memory — I am not a “lyrics” person)
Religious symbolism of The Twelve Days of Christmas (The 12 Days of Christmas)
1 True Love refers to God
2 Turtle Doves refers to the Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens refers to Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues
4 Calling Birds refers to the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists
5 Golden Rings refers to the first Five Books of the Old Testament, the “Pentateuch”, which gives the history of man’s fall from grace.
6 Geese A-laying refers to the six days of creation
7 Swans A-swimming refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
8 Maids A-milking refers to the eight beatitudes
9 Ladies Dancing refers to the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 Lords A-leaping refers to the ten commandments
11 Pipers Piping refers to the eleven faithful apostles
12 Drummers Drumming refers to the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle’s Creed
Ouch My Head Hurts…
Last night I should have remembered the advice I am about to give you. When drinking a lot at a Christmas party, especially one that is held at your house therefore you are not driving anywhere, drink plenty of water. I would be feeling much better today if I thought about this.
And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal…
Current Mood – I have a pounding headache
Current Music – none, I am watching tv
Website Of The Day – nothing today
Exercise (b)Log – none
Cheers,
Paulie [eatl/ga]
Good news, I found my keys…they where in my back pocket??? hmmm, maybe I shouldn’t have had that last 420.
Feeling about like this today, Paulie?

@Martha: Glad you found your keys. Now I know the real reason your vehicle was still on my street this morning.
@Terri: Yes indeed. I attempted to drink a beer at the Falcons game this afternoon and it didn’t go down so well.
I’m so sorry I missed it, Paulie! I fell asleep on the couch watching “The Sound of Music,” honestly thinking I’d get up in time to head to your place. I am SO FRICKIN OLD.
I completely understand. I just woke up after falling asleep watching “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.”
