    The problem with the chart is that the twelve days of Christmas start on Dec 25 and run until Jan 5 with Epiphany following right after on Jan 6.

  2. D.R. says:

    Taa-daa! Nice. :)

  3. Erica says:

    Too bad, the title is wrong. 12/13-12/14?

  4. Nik says:

    Yeah. Christmas Day is the First Day of Christmas. The weeks before Christmas are Advent. :-)

  5. jhc says:

    the dates on the bottom should of just read 1st 2nd 3rd and the title of the chart could be “sales during days of christmas” confusion and errors begone!

  6. Me says:

    Brilliant.

  7. OrangeAipom says:

    I can’t tell the difference between the turtle doves and the french hens on the chart.

  8. Kyler says:

    Fun graph, but…

    If you’re going to include swans (swimming) and maids (milking), then pipers (piping) and drummers (drumming) should follow suit. Also the title is only two days and apparently the 12 days begin on Christmas and not before, which I didn’t know. And, as Orange pointed out, turtle doves and French hens are too close to the same color.

    After all that, think I still like this graph? Yeah! Good job.

  9. Kevin T. says:

    This graph assumes that you only get each gift once. For instance, there are only 1 partrage on the first and last day, when on the last day there’d be 12 partrages. Similarly, there should be 22 pipers on the last day.

    • walter_eagle says:

      No, the graph is about SALES. One partridge is sold each day, so that a total of 12 would have been bought by the end of it. On the first day, a partridge is sold. On the second day, one other partridge is sold, along with two turtle doves. Do you see?

  10. gvh says:

    12 lords, 11, ladies, 10 drummers, 9 pipers, 8 maids, 7 swans, 6 geese. You didn’t think that the ruling classes would let the drummers get top billing, did you?

    But I like this graph. It makes me want eggnog.

  11. Michael Gustafson says:

    What I think I got right: the sales per day – which is to say, the graph shows one partridge per day so there would be twelve total. It’s not a cumulative graph of products sold (though that would be a good one, too).

    What I totally and completely screwed up: (1) when the twelve days of Christmas are, (2) what the title should be generally, (3) what the title should have been relative to having screwed up the days of Christmas…

    Now that classes are over (and let the choir say, “Amen!”) I’ll try to get better color contrasts and better dates and see if TPTB will do a sub :-D

  12. Paploo says:

    Date fail. This should be on failblog instead of graphjam. :)

  13. =^-^= says:

    i dont get it.

  14. Minty says:

    lol cute :) kinda failish though with the date being wrong…
