Post a Comment On: A Nod to Nothing

Seems a researcher in England, Ray Wright, has decided that the 12 Days of Christmas are really about pagan sexual practices and that the church just changed the words to keep a sense of propriety about the holiday song.

"Ray believes the five gold rings represent sexual union and the conception of the baby is represented by the six geese laying eggs. He added the seven swimming swans were metaphors for the foetus swimming in its mother's womb."

And of course, you can guess what the maids a' milking means.

If you need a political 12 Days of Christmas, here are a few options.
