That's a hoot. I wrote My Fantasy Christmas Gifts and posted it on my blog. It's fun to turn those around. Mine involved lots of servants to do all the work so I can write. :o)
ReplyDeleteDiAnn, thanks for this fun rewrite of the song just for writers! I am tweeting it. Did you know that Wikipedia carries an article by a Canadian hymnologist, Hugh D. McKellar, who published a piece, "How to Decode the Twelve Days of Christmas", claiming that "The Twelve Days of Christmas" lyrics were intended as a catechism song to help young Catholics learn their faith, at a time when practising Catholicism was criminalized in England (1558 until 1829)? There's no real proof of this idea, but it is interesting reading to say the least.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Merry Christmas, Elva Cobb Martin, President, ACFW-SC Chapter www.elvamartin.com
Have a wonderful Christmas! I so enjoyed writing this blog.
ReplyDeleteLove it, DiAnn!!! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHey! You stole my idea! ;) But mine's a bit different than yours... Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks, DiAnn and Merry Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteDiann, Thank you. I tweeted it.I had to smile about the 10 Godiva chocolates. Your picture showed one box with 20 pieces. I can't imagine anyone eating 200 pieces of chocolate. Of course, I speak as one who is caffiene sensitive.But I do damage to white chocolate. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
