The Twelve Days Of Christmas

Hi everyone. We're getting closer and closer to the big day. It's starting to feel a bit more like Christmas now. I'm not sure, but I think it's the Relient K Christmas album, "Deck The Halls, Bruise Your Hand," that's really getting me in the Christmas spirit. There's just something about punk rock Christmas carols that gets me excited.

Anyway, I just thought I would share this with you... The Twelve Days Of Christmas... Australian style...

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me,
Twelve possums playing,
Eleven lizards leaping,
Ten wombats washing,
Nine crocs a-snoozing?
Eight dingos dancing,
Seven emus laying,
Six sharks a-surfing,
Five kangaroos,
Four lyrebirds,
Three wet galahs,
Two snakes on skis,
And a kookaburra in a gum tree.


This is what they really sing here. Weird, hey.

Hi Ryan & Amy. I'm a friend of a friend of Larry's....and we're looking through blogs 'cause I'm new to the blog-world too. Can you tell me how you added that cool slide-show feature to your blog??

Thanks

Okay, just so you know, we did get like a centimeter of snow last night and Alison and I are still holding out hope of more before Christmas day. To think we just had Benjamin out sliding like 2 weeks ago...He had a blast. Spent more time flipping the 3 ski than sliding, but hey, he thought it was hilarious.
