The twelve day's of a CaRT Christmas 2013.


The Twelve Days of Christmas is a Christmas carol that numbers a series of increasingly grand gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas. The song, first published in England in 1780 without music and delivered as a chant or rhyme. It is thought to be French in origin. There are a number of parodies of the twelve days of Christmas carol. Here is one I did earlier!
