The 12 Letters of Christmas...Happy Holidays Here’s the real story behind the song: beginning to get on my nerves. December 14 All my love, My dearest darling John: Agnes Who ever in the whole world would dream of getting a real Partridge in a Pear Tree? How can I ever express my pleasure? Thank you a hundred times for thinking of me this way. December 19 Dear John: December 15 Dearest John: Cordially, Agnes Today the postman brought your very sweet gift. Just imagine, two turtledoves. I'm just delighted at your very thoughtful gift. They are just adorable. All my love, Agnes December 16 Dear John: Oh! Aren't you the extravagant one? Now I must protest. I don't deserve such generosity, Three French hens. They are just darling but I must insist you've been too kind. Agnes December 23 You rotten prick: Now there's ten ladies dancing. I don't know why I call those sluts ladies. They've been balling those pipers all night long. Now the cows can't sleep and they've got diarrhea. My living room is a river of manure. The Commissioner of Buildings has subpoenaed me to give cause why the building shouldn't be condemned. I'm calling the police on you! Agnes December 20 John: December 24 What's with you and those freaking birds?? Seven swans a swimming.?!? What kind of Listen Freak: joke is this? There's bird poop all over the house and they never stop the racket. I can't sleep at night and I'm a nervous wreck. It's not funny. So stop those freaking birds. Sincerely, Agnes What's with those eleven lords a leaping on those maids and ladies? Some of those broads will never walk again. Those pipers ran through the maids and have been committing sodomy with the cows. All twentythree of the birds are dead. They've been trampled to death in the orgy. I hope you're satisfied, you rotten vicious swine. Your sworn enemy, All my love, Agnes You'll get yours ! Agnes When I opened the door today there were actually six geese lying on my front steps? So you're back to the birds again huh? These geese are huge. Where will I ever keep them? The neighbors are complaining and I can't sleep through the racket. Please stop. My love always, neighbors have started a petition to evict me. December 21 Agnes O.K. Buster: December 17 Dear John: Today the postman delivered four calling birds. Now really, they are beautiful, but don't you think enough is enough. You are being too romantic. I think I prefer the birds. What in the world am I going to do with 8 maids a milking? It's not enough with all those birds and 8 maids a milking, but they had to bring their cows. There is manure all over the lawn and I can't move in my own house. Just lay off me! Affectionately, Agnes December 22 Hey @#$%^: December 18 Dearest John: What a surprise, today the postman delivered five golden rings, one for every finger. You're just impossible, but I love it. Frankly, all those birds squawking were VOLUME 3 ISSUE 2 What are you.....some kind of sadist? Now there's nine pipers playing. And Jeez do they play. They've never stopped chasing those maids since they got here yesterday morning. The cows are getting upset and they're stepping all over those screeching birds. What am I going to do? The December 25 Dear Sir: This is to acknowledge your latest gift of twelve fiddlers fiddling which you have seen fit to inflict on our client, Miss Agnes McHolstein.
