12 Days of Christmas

I went to the Leaf game with Josh, Darren, and Jenny last week and while the guys were off getting beer Jenny and I got on the topic of Christmas. She was talking about the 12 Days of Christmas but with a modern twist. The idea is to change the lyrics to match a person's interests. I thought the idea was great so the next day I started thinking about what I could do for Josh.

Tomorrow is the "1st day of Christmas" so after Josh opens the gift I'll post what it was so by Dec 24th the song will be complete and you'll know everything he received. The toughest part was tyring to find things in the correct mulitples and then trying to make the song flow.

Feel free to use this idea next year. It's quite fun and it makes Christmas last for more than just one day. Hopefully Josh enjoys the idea. :)

Here is the last verse of the original song:
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me:
Twelve Drummers Drumming
Eleven Pipers Piping
Ten Lords a Leaping
Nine Ladies Dancing
Eight Maids a Milking
Seven Swans a Swimming
Six Geese a Laying
Five Golden Rings
Four Calling Birds
Three French Hens
Two Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Here's the version adapted for Josh:
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Twelve cans of Pepsi
Eleven packs of gum,
Ten Rolaids,
Nine tallboys,
Eight bags of popcorn,
Seven chocolate Turtles,
Six Pepperettes,
Five bags of chips,
Four pairs of socks,
Three magazines,
Two boxer shorts,
A big box of Nestle Smarties.
