twelve days til christmas (part one or part twelve depending on how you look at it)
Current mood: impatient
Category: Christmas Traditions
alice is not really in the christmas mood yet. she is in bed and it is light outside and she is listening to a boring news program on the radio and her toast has gone cold and she ought to have a shower and play with me. instead i have to entertain myself and that is easy when there is so much to do.
for example i am going to count the days until christmas using the song the twelve days of christmas. the twelve days of christmas are supposed to be the twelve days after christmas eve but that is boring because everyone knows that the best bit is when you put up the decorations and open the advent calendar and get excited about the presents you are going to get (i was a present to alice once when she was very small but i dont remember being unwrapped). when alice was very small she would sometimes get so excited that she would feel sick. i love christmas. and alice.
anyway i am going to count the twelve days until christmas because that is more exciting. and today is the twelfth day until christmas so i need to get alice (who i love) a present. the song says it needs to be twelve drummers drumming. i am glad that there is only one twelfth day because twelve and twelfth are hard to remember how to spell. i dont think that i am going to be able to get twelve drummers and anyway they would probably be boys and i dont trust them so i will have to do something else.
this is the first line of the song that alice can sing this year.
one the twelfth day of christmas
my teddy gave to me
twelve chicken drumsticks
(from the bins around the back of kfc. there is nothing wrong with them. actually there is nothing more wrong with them than if you buy them from the front in my opinion.)
now i will go out and forage for spicy battered chicken parts. alice will like these. tonight i will have to think about what to get her tomorrow. this is very exciting.
