On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

A partridge in a pear tree.

I am inordinately proud of my mediæval dancing ladies.

[davewil1964]

They are very mediaeval.

I take exception to the geese, who seem to be flying, not laying.

[countessalmirena]

I know! I hang my head in shame.

But how can one make a goose emoticon sufficiently goosey...? The answer is clearly that it must be in flight. That means that - humorously - the eggs should be laid in mid-air and come hurtling down like egg missiles.

Ten Lords a-Leaping

Nine Ladies Dancing

Eight Maid a-Milking

Seven Swans a-Swimming

Three French Hens
Two Turtle-Doves
