• The Twelve Days of Christmas carol was once a popular party game in the 1700-1800s where making a mistake in the lyrics meant you would have to give up a small token, sweet, or perhaps even a kiss!
• first appeared in print in 1780
• It wasn’t always ‘4 Calling Birds’…they show up as canaries, mockingbirds, colly birds(archaic term for black birds),
• according to howstuffworks.com, the 12 Days of Christmas is the time it took for the three magi, or three wise men, to travel to Bethlehem for the Epiphany

A Florida Christmas

A seagull in a palm tree
Two mouse ears
Three launching shuttles
Four snapping alligators
Five Golden Oranges
Six dolphins leaping
Seven flamingos flocking
Eight key lime pies baking
Nine manatees munching
Ten hurricanes blowing
Eleven tourists tanning
Twelve early birds dancing

“It says, “Dear Rudolph: Now that Christmas is over, we’d like you to be a contestant on Dancing With The Stars”

“Cool!”
