Only thing I could come up with is a Muppet's show from 1979. Doubt that's the one. Sorry!

Grammiesue, this got me looking, too, LOL. So far no luck, but I DID find this funny take on the poem of 12 days of Christmas, which sounds like the tv show you described. Also, I actually do have a banner ready for when it comes time for the actual 12 days of Christmas, which don't begin until Christmas day. :)

A Funny - 12 Days of Christmas...
Twelve Days of Christmas...
December 14, 2003
Dearest Dave,
I went to the door today, and the postman delivered a partridge in a pear tree.
This was a delightful gift! I couldn't have been more surprised or pleased darling!
With truly the deepest love,
Agnes

Dearest Dave,
Today the postman brought me yet another of your sweet gifts. The two turtle doves that arrived
today are adorable, and I'm delighted by your thoughtful and generous ways.
With all of my love,
Your Agnes

Dearest Dave,
You've truly been too kind! I must protest; I don't deserve such generosity. The thought of getting
three French hens amazes me. Yet, I am not surprised - what more should I expect from such a nice
person.
Love,
Agnes

Dear Dave,
Four calling birds arrived in the mail today. They are truly nice but don't you think that enough is
enough? You are being too romantic.
Affectionately,
Agnes

Dearest darling Dave,
It was a surprise to get five golden rings! I now have one for every finger. You truly are impossible
darling, yet oh how I love it! Quite frankly, all of those squawking birds from the previous days were
starting to get on my nerves. Yet, you managed to come through with a beautiful, valuable gift!
All my love,
Agnes

Dear Dave,
When I opened my door, there were actually six geese a-laying on my front steps. So you're back to
the birds again, huh? Those geese are dear, but where will I keep them? The neighbors are
complaining, and I am unable to sleep with all the racket. Please stop, dear.
Cordially,
Agnes

Dave,
What is with you and those stupid birds!? Seven swans a-swimming!! What kind of sick joke is this!!??
There are bird droppings everywhere! They never shut up, and I don't get any sleep!!! I'm a nervous
wreck! It's not funny you weirdo, so stop with the birds.
Sincerely,
Agnes

O.K. wise guy,
The birds were bad enough. Now what do you expect me to do with eight maids a-milking? If that's
not bad enough, they had to bring their cows!! The front lawn was completely ruined by them, and I
can't move in my own house! Just lay off me or you'll be sorry!

Hey loser,
What are you? You must be some kind of sadist!! Now there are nine pipers playing, and they
certainly do play! They haven't stopped chasing those maids since they got here! The cows are
getting upset, and they're stepping all over those screeching birds. The neighbors are getting up a
petition to evict me, and I'm going out of my mind!
You'll get yours!
Agnes

You rotten scum!!!
There are now ten ladies dancing! There is only one problem with that! They're dancing twenty-four
hours a day all around me with the pipers upsetting the cows and the maids. The cows can't sleep,
and they are going to the bathroom everywhere! The building commissioner has subpoenaed me to
give cause as to why the house shouldn't be condemned! I can't even think of a reason! You creep!
I'm siccing the police on you!
One who means it!
December 24, 2003
Listen you evil, sadistic maniac!
What's with the eleven lords-a-leaping?!? They are leaping across the rooms breaking everything and
even injuring some of the maids! The place smells, is an absolute mad house, and is about to be
condemned! At least the birds are quiet; they were trampled to death by the cows. I hope you are
satisfied - you rotten, vicious, worthless piece of garbage!
Your sworn enemy,
Agnes

Dear Sir,
This is to acknowledge your latest gift of twelve fiddlers-fiddling which you have seen fit to inflict on

Mcholstein at Happy Daze Sanatorium, the attendants have instructions to shoot you on site.
Please direct all correspondence to this office in the future. With this letter, please find attached a
warrant for your arrest.
Cordially,

Oh! Now, THAT'S hilarious! I nearly choked on my oj over that one! LOL!!!
LOL, datsunlvr, definitely a different viewpoint, and gosh, it kind of makes an odd kind of sense when you think about it. :x
That was funny Barb. What a way to start my day!
That is so funny!!! Thanks for the good laugh.
My son, though not of Eons age, knows a lot about older TV shows. I often refer to him as Mr. Television. (I don't think Milton Berle would mind.) I'll ask him about the show you were wondering about, grammiesue.
I do not recall any tv show about the 12 days of Christmas, but I sure did have a good laugh at the interpretation that you posted here. Somebody had a great sense of humor when they wrote this. I think I will try to write it out and send it to some other book club friends.
Thanks for giving us some fun today, Barb.
Could it had a been a skit on the Carol Burnett Show?
Barb that is too funny. If I go to T. J's again before Christmas I am going to take that checker a copy of the poem. How funny.
Alagal5 thanks maybe your son will know of the show.
Mudqueen I was thinking it might have been CB's show too or even Milton or on one of the special like Andy Williams or King Sisters.
King Sisters were on PBS Friday night did anyone see them? I just loved their show when I was a kid.
