The Twelve Puns of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas
Take Advent age of Xmas countdown

On the second day of Christmas
Holly was a thorn in the side

On the third day of Christmas
Ivy was a real creep

On the fourth day of Christmas
They got a frosty reception

On the fifth day of Christmas
Three wise men proclaimed it was crackers

On the sixth day of Christmas
Who is Mary Christmas? Why Carol’s cousin of course

On the seventh day of Christmas
Yule be getting excited – it’s Claus and effect

On the eighth day of Christmas
All presents present but bah humbugs in Christmas stockings

On the ninth day of Christmas
You snow it won’t reindeer on Christmas day

On the tenth day of Christmas
Time for silent night so sleigh bells

On the eleventh day of Christmas
Coffee-loving Prancer and Dancer are Santa’s Starbucks

On the twelfth day of Christmas
Let’s eat cold turkey and peas on earth
Ho Ho Ho!

So many great puns, Simon. I, being a lover of puns, am always saddened by how they elicit groans from the general populace. Wordplay rates very highly with me, and I found these enjoyable. Mary Christmas with her cousin Carol, take "Advent age", Yule be getting excited with Claus and effect; all of it made me smile ~ John
