Your title must be: On the (Pick a number day 1 to 12 and please write it out) Day of Christmas … and here are the days in order: A partridge in a pear tree—Two turtle doves—Three French hens—Four calling birds—Five gold rings—Six geese a-laying—Seven swans a-swimming—Eight maids a-milking—Nine ladies dancing—Ten lords a-leaping—Eleven pipers piping—Twelve drummers drumming. One line must include one of these! To fit the 15-words allotted, type any three words below it using a hashtag. Spin a thought to one of these days for the holidays. If still unsure, I shall start it off for you to get an idea … and may your days ahead be merry and bright!

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Swans swimming in a lake of their own shit

And ugly ducklings.

On the Second Day of Christmas

Among branches, they swiftly fly

Two turtle doves, joined in the sky

On the second day of christmass

All confusion, this is an unholy prize,

abominable creation, here starts to rise.

All were hushed and filled with dread,

When this chimaera was cruelly bred.

It flutters wings, yet has a shell,

Surly this thing’s out of hell.

Why then, she gave such evil spawn,

On Christmas day’s second dawn?

I tell you, friend, she’s no true love,

If she brings you a turtledove!

Those eight maids a-milking me for
