This is our last theme for the year, and our host is Margaret from From Pyrenees to Pennines. She wants us to explore the 12 Days of Christmas, as in the song.
This is probably the hardest theme for the year for me. I don’t have any photos that would represent any of the days. I always feel like I have to do the post, so I decided to do something different, which is not to use my photos. I thought it might be fun to do the 12 days with AI images, so that is what I have for you today. It was an interesting experiment.
Let’s start.
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me A Partridge in a Pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me 2 turtle doves
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Three French hens
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Four calling birds
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Five golden rings
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Six geese a-laying
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Seven swans a-swimming
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Eight maids a-milking
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Nine ladies dancing
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Ten lords a-leaping
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Eleven pipers piping
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Twelve drummers drumming
Well, that was a task, you have no idea how hard that was to do using AI. OMG, AI can’t count. I had to do many of them again and again because the numbers were wrong. You see that it doesn’t really have any idea for this sort of thing. Oh well, it is done now.
Thank you, Margaret, for being our last host for the year, and I’m sure you have done a much better job at this than me. The next theme will be on the 14th of January, with Sarah being our host.
Instructions for participating will be available after the gallery.

Merry Christmas to you!
Thanks, I hope you had a good one too.
This is quite amazing! Interesting that AI can’t count tho 🙂
I thought it was quite funny when I was trying it. Thank you.
What a clever solution! The AI has done a pretty good job apart from the maids who definitely aren’t milking 😀 Well done!
Thank you Sarah, this was a tough one. I know those maids, who knows what they were doing.
That’s wonderful, Leanne. Have a great Christmas 🎄
Thank you Dina, I hope you had a good one too.
These are wonderful!
Thank you Pepper.
this is perfect and so cute, and I wouldn’t know where to begin!
Thank you Beth.
Wonderful AI interpretation Leanne. I had to laugh about AI not being able to count. It’;s a wonder you even had the right image as well 😂
Thank you Brian, I know who knew it couldn’t count. lol. That is true, I managed somehow.
It was definitely a hard one. It will be interesting to see how it is interpreted.
It was Dawn, very hard. Thank you.
Great job Leanne. It must have been frustrating!
Thank you Anne, it was initially, but I got into it eventually.
very good!
Thanks Sue.
I am such a fan of the Three French Hens. Well done, Leanne. Merry Christmas to you!
I have to admit that was my favourite too Lois. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you too.
Well done Leanne! I know you hated this theme, but you’ve put your heart into it all the same. Excellent …. now, relax and have a happy Christmas. Here’s mine: https://margaret21.com/2025/12/23/the-twelve-days-of-christmas/
LOL, thank you Margaret, I appreciate that, it was most definitely a challenge, but I did have fun with it.
As did I, reading your post!
😜😂
Well done, Leanne! I also made it to 12 but some a little bit more accurate as others: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/12/23/twelve-varigated-days-of-christmas/
