The 12 Days of Christmas Like You've Never Seen Them

A few weeks ago, I went a bit nuts again, and decided it was time that my bloggy-friends and I all blogged on the same topic again.  This time, though, I was going to make sure to pin the blame (and the job of hosting the challenge) on another blogger.  If the plan is a resounding success, of course I will produce my emails and chat sessions and claim lots of credit.  If the plan bombs ... well ... it's on @jterziett's page, not mine, right?

But, seriously (if that is even possible), please check out Juliette's blog, where she is writing her version of The 12 Days of Christmas, and where several (hopefully lots) of our fellow bloggers will be posting their links about their version of The 12 Days of Christmas.

In the meantime, I give you MY version of The 12 Days of Christmas.  Pay attention.  You might learn something you didn't know before.
