Twelve days of Christmas for Gardeners - Veggie - 23-12-2024
Shall we re-write the Twelve Days of Christmas making it appropriate for gardeners? The twelve days start on Christmas Day, 25th, and end January 5th.
https://www.calendarpedia.com/when-is/twelve-days-of-christmas.html
Here are the original words:-
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!
What would you like to receive On your First Day of Christmas instead of a "Partridge in a Pear tree".
