Celebrating the 12 Days of December
This December, due to my inordinate obsession with holiday cheer, I wrangled some friends together to create a corny chain email. Each day, someone in the group had to send out a little present for everyone based on the 12 Days of Christmas song.
Here’s what happened:
December 1: A partridge in a pear tree
My take: A pair of trees donated on our behalf to the Arbor Day Foundation and the Partridge family!
December 2: Two turtledoves
Alicia’s: Really, what is a turtledove? And a Dove coupon!
December 3: Three French hens
Lily’s: After telling us all about her chicken inspirations, then shocked us all when she went a little too far.
December 4: Four calling birds
Theo’s: A real, live, analog conference call date!
December 5: Five golden rings
Anna’s: A lovely, Christmastime story.
December 6: Six geese a-laying
Alex’s: Six geese laid low!
December 7: Seven swans a -swimming

December 9: Nine drummers drumming
