Twelve Days of Christmas From New York To Atlanta

Unconventional, perhaps, but hope you enjoy. I was on the radio in grade school and had the distinction of singing “five golden rings,” off pitch but cute because I was young. Think of Lucy Ricardo…lol. TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS FROM NEW YORK TO ATLANTA On the first day of Christmas Mom and Dad gave to me a Partridge Family song On the second day of Christmas My sisters gave to me 2 sweet suckers On the third day of Christmas My brother gave to me 3 games of scrabble On the fourth day of Christmas My true friends gave to me 4 ever memories On the fifth day of Christmas St. Peter’s gave to me five golden rings On the sixth day of Christmas my boot camp gave to me 6 nights of real sleep On the seventh day of Christmas Virginia gave to me 7 sailors a-whistling On the eighth day of Christmas California gave to me 8 quakes with one birth On the ninth day of Christmas Hawaii gave to me 9 falls cascading On the tenth day of Christmas Virginia gave to me 10 cups of Brunswick stew On the eleventh day of Christmas Durham gave to me 11 waves of bull’s tail On the twelfth day of Christmas Atlanta gave to me 12 peaches in a cobbler For all the states of Christmas all my loves gave to me 12 peaches in a cobbler 11 waves of bull’s tail 10 cups of Brunswick stew 9 falls cascading 8 quakes with one birth 7 sailors a-whistling 6 nights of real sleep five golden rings 4 ever memories 3 games of scrabble 2 sweet suckers and a Partridge Family song
