12 Days of Christmas in Alaska


"The Twelve Days of Christmas in Alaska" typically refers to popular regional parodies of the classic holiday song or the children's companion book Alaska's 12 Days of Summer. These festive Alaskan adaptations swap traditional English lyrics for iconic northern wildlife and winter wilderness themes.

AN ALASKAN CHRISTMAS

A Partridge in a Parka
Two Jumping Orcas
Three Inuit Totems
Four Hiding Halibut
Five Golden 3pm Sunsets
Six Denali Peaks Discerning
Seven Fishing Boats a-Rocking
Eight Moose a-Munching
Nine Northern Lights Dancing
Ten Fur Rondy Racers Running
Eleven Reindeer Sightings
Twelve Glaciers Crawling
    Artists: David Price


North Star Elementry in Kodiak. Here are the lyrics:

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
    A Ptarmigan in a Spruce Tree
    Two Halibut
    Three Tanner Crabs
    Four Bald Eagles
    Five Fishermen
    Six Salmon Jumping
    Seven Bears A-Fishing
    Eight Seals A-Barking
    Nine Deer A-Leaping
    Ten Otters Swimming
    Eleven Magpies Singing
    Twelve Puffins Flying

An Alaskan-themed variation of the traditional holiday song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas.

"On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
1 caribou in a deep freeze;
2 ptarmigan;
3 spruce hens;
4 beluga whales;
5 mal-a-mutes;
6 bears a-fishing;
7 seals a-barking;
8 moose a-running;
9 Cheechakoes grabbing;
10 sourdoughs panning;
11 reindeer prancing;
12 salmon jumping.

John Denver & The Muppets - 12 Days of Christmas 

  YouTube Video



The famous Muppet rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a chaotic, hilarious holiday staple. Originally featured on their 1979 album A Christmas Together with John Denver, the song features iconic characters repeatedly missing their cues, interrupting each other, and struggling with the "five golden rings".
The Cast of Characters
Each Muppet gets their moment to shine as the days progress, complete with their signature antics: 
  • Partridge in a Pear Tree: Kermit the Frog
  • Two Turtle Doves: Miss Piggy
  • Three French Hens: Floyd Pepper, Janice, and Zoot (The Electric Mayhem)Four Calling Birds: Fozzie Bear, Beaker, The Swedish Chef, and Statler & Waldorf
  • Five Golden Rings: Miss Piggy (who insists on belting out this specific line repeatedly)
  • Six Geese-a-Laying: Gonzo
  • Seven Swans-a-Swimming: The Swedish Chef
  • Eight Maids-a-Milking: Animal
  • Nine Ladies Dancing: The Great Gonzo and his chickens
  • Ten Lords-a-Leaping: Rowlf the Dog
  • Eleven Pipers Piping: Dr. Teeth
  • Twelve Drummers Drumming: Animal (who famously breaks the fourth wall)

The Australian Twelve Days of Christmas 
Author/Illustrator: Michael Salmon
Publisher: PAR Productions (Peter Anthill-Rose & Associates)

Aussie representation of Christmas: the beach, summer, the ocean, gum trees instead of pine trees - these are the things which characterise an Aussie Christmas. It's Christmas down-under and Australia's iconic animals are set to party. Twelve possums playing, eleven lizards leaping ... six sharks a-surfing, and a kookaburra in a gum tree. Kookaburras, galahs, kangaroos, dingoes and many others sing the classic rhyme as only they can. Readers are treated to Michael Salmon's zany illustrations with sharks go a-surfin', possums playing, dingoes dancing and wombats washing.

The lyrics shown on the page are:
  • 12 possums playing
  • 11 lizards leaping
  • 10 wombats washing
  • 9 crocs a-snoozing
  • 8 dingos dancing
  • 7 emus laying
  • 6 sharks a-surfing
  • 5 kangaroos
  • 4 lyrebirds
  • 3 wet galahs
  • 2 snakes on skis
  • And a kookaburra in a gum tree.

VocalEssence - 2009 Target Commercial "12 Days of Christmas (Minnesota Style)"

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
 Twelve trucks-a-towing
Eleven plastic santas
Ten thousand lakes
Nine warming houses
Eight skaters skating
Seven snoopy statues
Six Loons a-laying
Five hours of sun!
Four Fargo jokes
Three salt bags
Two ya you betchas
And a giant cherry on a huge spoooon!

Twelve Days AFTER Christmas - Someone's Mad!

That awkward moment when you break up with your "true" love after Christmas. What do you do with the gifts?

 The first day after Christmas my true love and I had a fight, And so I chopped the pear tree down and burned it just for spite. 
Then with a single cartridge, I shot that blasted partridge, My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. 

The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves, And very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves. My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. 

The third day after Christmas, my mother caught the croup; I had to use the three French hens to make some chicken soup. 

The four calling birds were a big mistake, for their language was obscene. 

The five gold rings were completely fake and they turned my fingers green.

 The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay, I gave the whole darn gaggle to the A.S.P.C.A. 

On the seventh day what a mess I found, All seven of the swimming swans had drowned. My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. 

The eighth day after Christmas, before they could suspect, 

I bundled up the Eight maids a milking, Nine pipers piping, Ten ladies dancing, Eleven lords a leaping, Twelve drummers drumming and sent them back collect. 

I wrote my true love, "We are through, love", and I said in so many words,

 "Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the birds!"
