The Twelfth Day of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords a Leaping
9 Ladies Dancing
8 Maids a Milking
7 Swans a Swimming
6 Geese a Laying
5 Golden Rings
4 Calling Birds
3 French Hens

and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

That was “1, 2, 3, The Tapestry I See! — The Twelve Day Way?” — the third of what I plan on being a series of “The Gnomestead Tapestry” intended for the younger set. This seasonal one is the “Twelve Days of Christmas! I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas!.

I hope you enjoy it and will share it with your friends, relatives, and colleagues. You needn’t do any ear lending if you don’t want to. Remember if your friends tell friends soon hundreds will have read these.
