Second day of Christmas : the Yule Goat

In Scandinavian countries, the Yule Goat or Julbock is an emblematic Christmas figure taken straight from Norse and Germanic mythologies. Inspired from the goats who accompanied Thor and turned malevolent and satanic at the moment of Christianism's coming, he became good again in the 19th century and it was then said he was the one bringing presents to children, before being rewritten agai as just the Julenisse's mate/steed, the elf who is said to be the one bringing gifts more recently. The reason why I drew him crisp burnt is referring to the Gävle Goat, Sweden. It's super funny, but too long tocbe explained here, there are lots of articles and videos on the subject and this year is a new step in its history

My favorite gift this year was from my girlfriend. She got me a pear tree and a cool partridge to live in it! Thanks, babe!

#I've named the partridge Shirley.#Humor #Twelve Days of Christmas #Christmas #(I'd say this is a joke but y'all should know already that I could never get a girlfriend.)

Okay, okay, but last Christmas GO thought for the year.

Crowley would, THIS YEAR, send Aziraphale the 'Twelve Days Of Christmas'.

To Heaven. Via Muriel and the Elevator Express.

So please now imagine Heaven with;

12 Partridges in Pear Trees,

22 Turtle Doves,

30 French Hens,

36 Calling Birds

40 Golden Rings

42 Geese A'laying

42 Swans A'swimming (Yeah, he sent along the inflatable pools. Along with all the frozen peas.)

40 Maids A'milking. (Goats. They are milking goats.)

36 Ladies Dancing. (Thank You Mrs. Sandwich.)

30 Lords A'Leaping. (Don't ask.)

22 Pipers piping.

12 Drummers drumming.

The other Archangels are screaming bloody murder as they and all the other angels trying to keep all this chaos under control, save Saraquel who is petting a goat.

Here is Aziraphale, his eyes gleaming with tears, because despite the entire Assholery ... Crowley is still his True Love. Aziraphale holding 40 rings of gold and just mouth wibbling, as he says, "He remembered I like pears."

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #neil gaiman #twelve days of christmas #crowley is a brat #and aziraphale LOVES HIM SO MUCH #happy new years good omens fandom

On day one, it's a partridge in a pear tree.

On day two, it's two turtle doves, and another partridge in a pear tree. That's three birds today, plus the one bird you already have. Four birds.

On day three, it's three french hens. And then two more turtle doves, and another partridge in a pear tree. 6 new birds + 4 old birds = 10 birds.

On day four, it's four calling birds. Yep, just more birds. And more of the same birds, too. 10 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 20 birds.

On day five, you've finally got something other than birds! Your true love gave you five golden rings! And also more of the same birds you already had -- 20 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 30 birds. You've got 30 birds and 5 rings. You've got a 6:1 bird-to-ring ratio.

Day six? More goddamn birds. Six geese, more of the previous birds, and all the birds you already had. Oh, and five more rings. Current bird math is 30 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 46 birds. And 10 rings.

Day seven? You guessed it! More birds! 46 + 7 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 69 birds. Nice. (Oh yeah, and now you have 15 rings.)

Day eight, you've now got eight maids. They're a-milking. I can only assume what they're milking is cows. Do they each come with a brand new milk-ready cow? I can only assume so, because your true love's gonna keep giving you more over the next few days. Hey, wait, does that mean each partridge came with its own pear tree, too? I think we need to expand our math a bit now.

So, we've got 8 human people working on 8 cows, and currently, one pear tree per day, meaning also 8 of those. In addition to our 69 birds (nice), we get another 7 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 23 birds each of the coming days, because none of our new gifts are going to be any new types of bird, thank goodness. So now we're at 92 birds. Plus, 5 more golden rings, bringing those up to 20. Our current gift ratios:

136 total individual gifts

92 birds (67.6%)

20 golden rings (14.7%)

8 maids (5.9%)

8 cows (5.9%)

8 pear trees (5.9%)

Day nine: Nine ladies dancing! That's more human people. So, our new ratios:

190 total individual gifts

115 birds (60.5%)

25 golden rings (13.2%)

25 women performing services (13.2%)

16 cows being serviced (8.4%)

9 pear trees (4.7%)

Day ten: ten... lords a-leaping??? I don't know what these lords think they're doing. But they sure are here and they sure are a-leaping. And your true love sure did give them to you, as a gift.

254 total individual gifts

138 birds (54.3%)

52 people of varying social status (20.5%)

30 golden rings (11.8%)

24 cows (9.4%)

10 pear trees (3.9%)

Day eleven: Now, it would be funny to insist that the eleven pipers piping are, in fact, sandpipers, a type of bird. But for your sake, I'm going with what is historically assumed -- they are musicians who play pipes. They're just as noisy as the birds, though.

329 total individual gifts

161 birds (48.9%)

90 people (27.4%)

35 golden rings (10.6%)

32 cows (9.7%)

11 pear trees (3.3%)

Day twelve: Oh, you thought the pipers were loud? Have twelve drummers drumming. Oh, and more pipers, and everything else, too.

So! Our grand total:

416 total individual gifts

184 birds (44.2%)

140 people (33.7%)

40 golden rings (9.6%)

40 cows (9.6%)

12 pear trees (2.9%)

Congrats on the birds. Hope you like them. You're never getting rid of them.

if any of my christmas wishes ever come true, i want the hermits to try and sing the Twelve Days of Christmas except no one knows the lyrics, the only lyric they can agree on is 'five golden rings', halfway through impulse suggests they start singing Jingle Bells and the Soup Group gets on it, and also mumbo is leading the chorus. just saying. it would be really funny
