’Tis the season for Christmas Carols, and parodies thereof. Perhaps the most parodied song ever (seasonal or otherwise) is "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Who amongst us hasn’t smiled when we heard the barking dogs’ version or the Redneck tune? Today I offer up a slightly different version of my own making that represents beach life. Feel free to sing along!
On the first day of Christmas, I saw along the shore:
A lighthouse with a red door.
On the second day of Christmas, I saw long the shore:
Two fiddler crabs;
And a lighthouse with a red door.
<fast forward to the final verse, because let’s be honest, you were going to do that anyway…>>
On the twelfth day of Christmas, I saw along the shore:
Twelve fishermen fishing;
Eleven paddlers paddling;
Ten dolphins leaping;
Nine buoys bobbing;
Eight sailboats healing;
Seven mermaids swimming;
Six seagulls squawking;
Five sea glass orbs;
Four pails of shells;
Three sand castles;
Two fiddler crabs;
And a lighthouse with a red door.
A lighthouse with a red door.
Two fiddler crabs;
And a lighthouse with a red door.
Twelve fishermen fishing;

And a lighthouse with a red door.
WISHING GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD SPIRITS TO ALL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
